In its State of Food Insecurity in the World 2012 report, the United Nations found that nearly 870 million people around the globe are chronically malnourished (Ruttan 6). Chronic malnourishment weakens the immune system, and it significantly increases people's risk of contracting infectious diseases. As a result of the problem and severity of malnourishment, one of the United Nations top eight goals is to drastically reduce the number of people who suffer from this condition (Johnson 4). During the course of working towards their goal, the U.N. has identified agricultural growth as one of the most effective ways to reduce the prevalence of malnourishment. However, the United Nation has also determined that in order for agricultural growth

The United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO) (2012), define cultural landscape as “cultural properties that represent the combined works of nature and of man.” It is a broad concept that can be referred to as the appearance of the earth’s surface, and its depiction in arts, human cultures and general territories (Steve Hoelscher 2007, p. 76).

Nutrition is important for healthy life. Many people are still hungry around the world even though there is mass production of food. This is because of unhealthy food production. In today’s world we see many obese people because of high intake of high fat and cholesterol containing food. It is important to have a healthy diet/ nutritional intake for individuals to have good foundation for physical and mental health. Now a day’s healthy food is getting more expensive rather than unhealthy food. Poor people are forced to eat unhealthy food, while the rich can afford to eat whatever the please. Food insecurity is caused by individuals not having healthy food for their families due to their low income or political and
Also, UNICEF believe that malnutrition is not the definition of hungry. For instance, a child can have enough to eat to satisfy hunger issues but can be malnourished still. Malnutrition results from low food intake and infection, to which leads to low in vitamins and minerals in children and adults. The WHO, UNICEF, and FAO are organizations relating to World Hunger, in which have different respective on malnourished and nutrition. Since the three organizations have different point of views, what are the people, who see the data supposed to believe? Do they believe that malnutrition is the cause of World Hunger? Do they believe that food insecurity causes World Hunger? In contrast, since the 1970's government officials have created organizations to respond to global food crisis. For example, the World Food Program (WFP), in which United Nations move food in response to food crisis emergencies. Famine relief has taken control in Africa by government officials and the World Food Program, but the biggest problem is the inadequacy of African transportation to the food aid for reliable food ability. For example, in Sudan, food relief piled up because of the lack of transportation the cities had. (Baro, Deubel,2006, p.

The mission of the U.S. Department of State is “to shape and sustain a peaceful, prosperous, just and democratic world and foster conditions for stability and progress for the benefit of the American people and people everywhere” (U.S. Department of State 2016). Food security is a problem that plagues much of the developing world. The U.S. government’s global hunger and food security initiative “Feed the Future” (FTF) aims to put an end to global hunger by giving people the tools they need in order to feed themselves. Feed the Future works in nineteen different nations across the globe but does not include Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan or Yemen. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA),
Every day, between 21,000 to 24,000 people die because of hunger or diseases associated with hunger. In 2010, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimated that 239 million people in sub-Saharan Africa were hungry/undernourished. However, there are many reasons why these numbers are so high, such as poverty, harmful economic systems, conflict, environmental factors, etc. While people in Africa are starving, other countries have too much food. This is a major problem and I believe that everything possible should be done to end starvation not only in Africa, but all over the world.
In order to strike down this issue, you first must know the background information on what is causing world hunger. Statistics show and may be verified with
