World Hunger Book Report

Childhood hunger is an epidemic that impacts people all over the globe. As we speak people are searching for solutions to combat this epidemic. Some solutions include creating crops that can survive nonarable environments or trying to reduce the amount of food that’s wasted every year. I believe that the proper way to combat such a global problem is to start from home. If we’re able to figure out how to reduce childhood hunger in our own communities, those techniques can be tested on a global scale.

World hunger is a very serious issue in today’s world, that is very stunning in a world full of resources and food to feed the hungry. World hunger affects millions around the world. There are 795 million malnutritioned people around the world today. The good news is that hunger is a problem that can be solved. There is enough food in the world to feed everyone. Today’s knowledge, and willing people can just be enough to solve the main issue of world hunger.

The reality of hunger is one that is often suppressed and denied around the world. One huge misconception is that everyone who is hungry does not have a job. People argue that hunger is the fault of the person who cannot afford food. If they were really hungry, then they would have done something about it right? Surely, they aren’t actually hungry otherwise, they would have gotten a real job. Sadly, the victims of food insecurity not only have to face the challenges of hunger but also have to listen to the biting criticism of other citizens. Just as Quindlen said, the first step to ending hunger is recognizing

Imagine going days without eating? For some, that nightmare is a reality. World Hunger is a terrible issue that plagues many countries including some areas in the United States. I chose this topic because I would like to educate people on world hunger and what can be done to prevent it.

In this article by AGENDA they discuss how changes in the world’s diet could end world hunger by 2030. Based on the studies that the United Nations has performed, individual’s diet’s, in both wealthy and developing countries, need to include more plant-based foods instead of red meats. Cutting food waste and poor nutrition is also a key change that needs to happen in the effort to end world hunger. The assistant director-general of the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization told AGENDA “ I don’t think it’s all that ambitious to eliminate hunger,” due to rising incomes in large portions of the world, improvements in food transportation,

Today, almost one person of every seven does not get the nutritious food they need in order to be healthy and obtain the energy they need throughout each day. 70% of the starving population are women and children. Hunger can be just as bad as AIDS or malaria but yet is solvable. It is possible to feed every person in the world and no scientific breakthroughs needed. We can solve the problem with today’s knowledge, tools and policies.

Don’t be surprised if leaders who are expected to act on this project do not move as swiftly as anticipated. However, action is required and must be taken by the countries that are most in need. The citizens need to take action to deal with the root causes of hunger and to correct them. We all must focus on a solution.

Approximately 795 million people in the world are chronically malnourished. That means that one in nine people do not have enough food to live a healthy lifestyle. This is the biggest problem affecting a considerable amount of the human population. Hunger and hunger related illnesses kill just over 6 millions children a year. Hunger is not partial to race or gender, it’s a problem in all corners of the world, it affects people in even the most developed countries. The more humans progress the more this problem, logically, the more this problem should diminish but that is not the case. The problem does not lie in the lack of food production, or lack of food on earth, rather there is an excess of food that could feed everyone with ease. Global food insecurity is a solvable issue. The selfishness and yearn for excess is what is continuing starvation. Hunger could be solved at any point in time if everyone came together to support efforts. The government and the people need to work together to end this epidemic, this is a problem everyone needs to deal with.

“Starvation is the characteristic of some people not having enough food to eat. It is not the characteristic of there not being enough food to eat” (Goal 2: Zero Hunger); where some individuals consume too much food that leads to obesity, others do not have the opportunity to get enough food, leading to malnutrition and starvation. With this being said, pantries, organizations, and goals need to be made so that hunger throughout the world could stop. Three specific actions to end hunger could include setting up more convenient pantries for individuals to attend, organizations getting together to provide meals and a place to eat, and setting goals to have less and less people go hungry each year.

As long as hunger continues to manifest itself as a worldwide problem, a step-by-step solution can be devised with the efforts of individuals, communities, and organizations.

It is estimated that the number of undernourished people in the world is 1.02 billion. Hunger and malnutrition are the underlying causes of more than half of all child deaths, killing nearly 6 million children each year, and are among the major causes of human death. Out of every ten deaths worldwide, three are due to the maternal causes, conditions arising during the perinatal period, and nutritional deficiencies. Undernutrition has been reported to be related to different diseases including coronary heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diarrheal diseases, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis, and prematurity and low birth weight. According to the World Health Organization, in 2004, these diseases were among the top ten leading causes of death in the world. The majority of these causes of death are directly or indirectly the result of nutritional deficiencies, infections, epidemics or diseases as the resistance and immunity of human body are weakened by undernourishment and hunger. Food security is a condition that exists when all people at all times are free from hunger and are comprising availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability of food. It is the end goal of eliminating global hunger. We dream of a world where food security is the norm, where everyone anywhere is food secure. Hunger is a condition

World hunger has been a problem that has plagued to world for as long as anyone can remember; people have also tried to end it for that long as well. This problem also has the problem of people not understanding it correctly. THE PROBLEM OF WORLD HUNGER HAS YET TO BE APPROACHED SUCCESSFULLY AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE DECISIVELY TAKEN

People do still not have enough food to eat. “Every minute in Africa, 12 people die from malnutrition.” (Senker 12). The population is rapidly decreasing due to lack of malnutrition. Food is readily available in many countries, but in the places where there are food losses, people are suffering major consequences such as death, severely malnourished, and underweight. Even though efforts are being made, it is still not enough to save everybody in need of saving from the bad conditions they are in today. The efforts may help for now, but in the future, nothing will save these need

World wide, substantial food is produced to relevantly feed everyone, although this food and the technological advances to produce it might not continually reach those in need. As a result of food shortages, nearly one thousand million people do not get a sustainable amount of food to eat and over four hundred

In a world overflowing with riches, it is an outrageous scandal that more than 826 million people suffer hunger and malnutrition and that every year over 36 million die of starvation and related causes. We must take urgent action now.”
