Mali´s Hungry People

The world we live in today is growing at an extremely fast pace. It seems to be that everyday there are more buildings being built, more concrete being poured, and more free land being destroyed. The cause of these events is the worlds’ population rate. Every day our population reaches an all-time high, every day we gain more mouths to feed, and every day we are losing ways to feed these mouths. Food insecurity has risen significantly along with the rise of our population. We must find ways to lower the food insecurity rate by finding new farming practices, making the public more aware of this issue, and doing more ourselves to make sure that we make a change to this problem.

It is estimated that 740 million people are starving in the world today. (Prakash and Conko 357) There are about 7.2 billion people in the world, so the hungry population accounts for 12.7% of the population. The time has come to change these statistics. It is the 21st century and we, as humans, now have the technology and resources to reverse these terrible numbers. There are two arguments on what we should do with this new technology, however. One side, researched by a science policy analyst, stated that biotechnology still has kinks to be worked out and is not the best way to combat world hunger. Another side by a AgBioWorld Foundation vice president and a world-renowned scientific researcher, professor, scholar, and director of the

The first family interviewed consists of a husband, wife, and two elementary aged daughters who came to the U.S. from Nigeria five years ago. The marriage was arranged between the husband’s father and siblings and the wife’s parents. Because of the great sense of community in this culture, the residents of the couple’s two villages also had to agree to the marriage. It was clear to this author that family and community relationships are highly valued in this family, and great emphasis is placed on valuing the opinions of, and deferring to elders. In Nigeria, health maintenance or protection is not highly considered, yet the residents of the villages generally have excellent health with very few incidents of the chronic diseases we face in the U.S. The reason for this relates to the physical activity involved in daily life, such as walking great distances, and manual labor working in the fields. Another reason for the health of the community is the diet they eat. Each family grows fresh vegetables and fruits. Beans are a primary source of protein, and meat is a special treat that is consumed only a few times per year. Processed or sugary foods are not a part of the diet. As a matter of fact the wife mentioned

So many children in Haiti suffer from malnutrition and our Feeding Programs are an outreach to many villages, schools, missionary and orphanages here in Haiti. Many of Haiti's poorest areas are in what we call the "regions beyond," and are accessible only by donkey or on foot, and it is where hundreds of children are dying of malnutrition. We are expanding our outreach to other locations because of the famine, but we need your help. Read Sherry’s Journal today to see how you can help us, help

The article which I chose to summarize is “Clean Your Plate. There are People in Starving in Africa!”, written by Timothy W. Jones. This article addresses the excessive wastefulness of food and resources in the United States. I particularly agree with how the author describes, not only the amount of food that is thrown out, but also the amount of money that it translates to. I would recommend this article to businesses, in particular, as it could be an eye-opener. The author examines three different perspectives of wastefulness: Food loss in general, losses as they relate to the farming industry and the wastefulness of food in the retail food industry. The author’s purpose of this article is not only to highlight the fiscal irresponsibility

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti is so bad that there are doctors and nurses there to help with food, water and even health. This is because children are starving to death. Haiti is the poorest country in the world because of the massive earthquake back in 2010, that earthquake killed over 200,00 people and left 1.5 million homeless. Even before the massive earthquake people in Haiti were still “food insecure” meaning they needed assistance to stave off hunger. In this day and age, people in the world are starving because people don’t have enough money or they have been involved in Natural Disasters. How can we find out how the world can stop starvation in Haiti, Have the natural disasters such as hurricanes + earthquakes

Food is a necessary part of ever individual’s daily life. Without food, the body cannot function properly, resulting in poor health, exhaustion, and even death by starvation. Therefore, food insecurity continues to be an international global epidemic. The journal article by Harrigan suggests that the citizens of the Sub-Saharan African country of Malawia are in further poverty due to their lack of food and agricultural resources. The newspaper article from the Guardian tells the real life story of African citizens struggling to farm and find food due to the crop shortages that have spanned Africa for the past two years. This is a current global issue, and the journal and news article prove that there is much to be done in order to help restore

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

Haiti is a small Caribbean country with serious hunger problem for many years. Even in 1980s, Haiti had advanced agriculture and hunger problem was far from this country. However, the local wars and conflicts happened in 1990s changed this. Agriculture was disturbed and hunger problem became more and more serious. It has been the key problem of Haitian development so Haitian government and international society have taken lots of measures to improve this situation. The major international supports were from the US and some EU countries. Plenty of data and reports show that hunger population in Haiti has been reduced a lot. Haiti will be most likely to achieve the Millennium Development Goal pronounced in 2000 by 2015.

Many African nations faced challenges after the colonial legacy. One nation that was hit the hardest was Somalia, "a country in turmoil." One challenge Somalia faced after gaining independence was famine. In 2010 throughout 2012 nearly 260,000 people died in result of this nightmare. This was caused by a severe drought and what worsened the disaster was conflict between rival groups fighting for power.

In postwar Sierra Leone, and amongst the many developmental challenges, food insecurity has been impeding rural development which continues to pose problems on the livelihood of the rural population which is predominantly peasant farmers. Many observers including those from the western area and foreigners always ask questions that why the rural has sufficient green and arable land which can produce them more food but failing to utilize it to grow them more.? Suspicions have been rife that land tenure might have been the impeding the production of food for food sufficiency and security. Therefore this study will further contribute in investigating the effect of the land tenure in rural Sierra Leone and will proffer recommendations that will

Haiti is most certainly one of the main country that is effected with problems of malnourishment.

In the video the speaker talks about all the problems we face as a world. Some of the problems which he goes on stating is clean water, 20% death preventable disease , 3.5% die from air pollution. He believes that we as a world should research cost effectiveness of proposals and prioritization. Prioritization is a huge key but, first we must identify the things we shouldn't do. In the world we face many challenges as described in the video. The speaker reviews the challenges of hunger and malnutrition also global warming. The speaker speaks on how billion of people go to bed hungry. He also details ways which we can change this matter. This fix would result in at least $184 billion of dollars. This solution would benefit the consumers tremendously. Not only does it help consumers but it also helps biodiversity. More people helps save the forest.

Polygamy is a family system under which a man is married to more than one wife, living together with them at the same time. It is usually ranges between two and four wives in some cultures. This system of marriage is predominatly rampant in many sub-Saharan African countries where a man can marry from one up to four wives if he can afford their domestic needs. However, some men unfortunately may mistakenly put themselves into this type of marriage and eventually get stocked in it where in the end result is usually nothing positive but a negativism, unnecessary jealousy, daily fighting and hatred among wives and between the children whom usually follow the footsteps of their mother despite being from the same dad. Under

In the text “Why Does Hunger Still Exist in Africa?” Gates (2014) talked about Proper nutrition while in “Technology is Key to Ending Hunger”(2011) it talked about technology, as both methods reduce malnutrition and famine, and they have many differences and one similarity. For starting a healthy life, having a right amount of nutrition in the first 1000 days and breastfeeding in the first 6 months can lead to maintaining a proper nutrition for babies. While investing in dams and water pans and delivering water to all corners of the country is done by having access to technology. Although, technology can use modern irrigation systems and desalination in agriculture. Fortifying essential foods like oil, flour, salt with crucial vitamins, minerals
