In the mid-1800s, Peru's economy revolved around natural fertilizer which they called guano. Guano was the gold of the time, it would grow crops in almost any soil. Guano was in high demand, as it was the best fertilizer at the time. It had the perfect combination of nutrients and had plentiful supply of nitrogen and phosphorus. Peru was flourishing but their economy ran solely on guano. Guano was being devoured and it would soon run out. After Peru ran out of guano, the country collapsed.

While most reports highlights the severity of hunger in many developing nations, many suffering from hunger can happen in our backyard too. In the US, prolific families suffering from malnourishment and food insecurity makes up 12.7%

There are many landforms in Colombia, each fitting into ecosystems that are intricately unique. The Amazon river is a habitat for animals (black caimans, piranhas, giant river otters, and pink dolphins) that are part of the surrounding Amazon rainforest ecosystem. The Colombian landscape is admittedly in many ways like other South American countries, but is nevertheless astonishing.

Malnutrition is defined as the lack of proper nutrition, cause by not having enough to eat, causing failure to thrive. Americans need to work together to stop the detrimental effects of malnutrition by focusing on the agricultural, government involvement, and education. By looking at the food created in Guatemala, we can see how these children get their energy.

Food insecurity can be defined as the lack of access to adequate food, limited by money and other resources.

With majority of the population living in poverty and the country as a whole often experiencing draught and less than ideal weather conditions, many adults and children are malnourished and the children are mostly stunted. Guatemala is currently facing a interesting malnutrition problem. Malnutrition in Guatemala is affecting localized farmers outside of the city.

For the past several decades, the island nation of Haiti has faced with significant food insecurity and nutritional challenges. The Republic of Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, has chronically been faced high levels of poverty, along with soil erosion, decline in agricultural production, coupled with a high population growth, makes obtaining adequate daily nutrition a struggle for many Haitians. The high frequencies of climatic shocks and other disasters along with a growing population and decreasing agricultural production further impedes the country’s ability to establish permanent food security, establish development grounds, and provide nutrition for all Haitians especially for children. Malnutrition, coupled with limited access to healthcare and unsanitary

Have you ever been to Peru? I have not been to Peru myself. I spent a lot of time researching this country. Peru is a very interesting country. Here are some facts about Peru.

Hunger has stalked Venezuela for years. But now, it is killing children at an alarming rate. Hospitals are overflowing with malnourished children. Before the Venezuelan economy collapsed, most malnourished children were in hospitals because of abuse from parents. But as the crisis started to intensify, the children in hospitals were there because of starvation. In 2011, there were severe floods in Colombia causing many people to lose their home and food. Colombia has tried to make floating houses Incase of another flood, but they never finished the project. This is one of the many factors of how malnutrition started in Colombia.

Bolivia is an amazing country, rich in culture, tourism, and history. Located in western-central South America, Bolivia is bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, and Chile. Bolivia is divided into 3 very diverse regions, the Andean region, that’s surrounded by mountain ranges and has the highest altitude in Bolivia, the sub Andean region, that’s distinguished by its farming activities, and the llanos region, that’s surrounded by rainforest and is very bio diverse. Although Bolivia has seen many great advances over the last few years, poverty, political instability, and drug trafficking continue to be issues that the country faces. In the next couple of paragraphs I’m going to talk about poverty in Bolivia, and how it has caused an epidemic of malnutrition children, I’m then going to narrow the topic down by talking about Bolivia’s child mortality rates and healthcare system, and the problems with healthcare access, I’m going to talk about Bolivia’s lack of access to food security and sanitation, and lastly I’m going to talk about the benefits that the popularity of the Bolivian crop quinoa has had on Bolivian nutrition.
