One solution to developing something to end world hunger is to basically ignore the problem of people not having the ability to find food for their families. In the article “Think again: ignoring poverty and hunger” by Eric Alterman, he talks about how those that live in genuine poverty go hungry every day.

Many poor individuals grew up poor and/or homeless and therefore, know of no other way to …show more content…

Kabugi Salome Waithera wrote about how important agriculture is in second-world countries and that without proper irrigation and planting techniques, communities and villages will most likely either disappear or become nomads. Mr. Waithera states that teaching agriculture to students of all ages will help provide the needed education on how to provide food. He mentions that in Africa, agriculture is taught to primary-age students but not to older-age students. He advises that many secondary education students who are studying agriculture and husbandry often return to their villages or communities to help teach others. This is an amazingly feasible solution to end world hunger. If more wise teach the uneducated, and if the uneducated are willing to learn, hunger will cease to

  • Stuffed And Starved Summary

    1540 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.
