Recommended: The issue of world hunger

Each day, around 21,000 people will die from hunger. This is not just another number. Many of the people who die including children, ranging from only a few months to the elderly. Although it seems impossible to end world hunger, millions of people are working to put a stop to this global threat. Ways that people are helping to end world hunger for good are through learning more about this situation, getting involved with different organizations, different techniques of create food packs that can be easily shipped to countries in need, and mission trips or other ways.
World hunger is a struggle that has been battled for hundreds of years. Dosomething.org reports that overall, there are over 805 million people experiencing world hunger, which …show more content…

Today, MobilePack events are more efficient than ever. Last year, Feed My Starving Children reported they had about 1,051,436 people help create the MannaPack food packs, a food package containing the right amount of nutrients for children. Last December I was lucky enough to get involved in the Hope Filled Holidays MobilePack event. I found out many startling facts that I never knew about world hunger, and it was overall really life changing. At the event, you would be sent to a table including the vitamin powder, dried vegetables, soy, and rice, which are all the things need for the special MannaPack, and begin filling the bags. Then, the bags are put into a box, and shipped to countries in need of the MannaPacks. At the event, they stress the saying ,“We want to reach everyone, until all are fed.” I believe that one day they will reach their goal.
Another way people are working to make world hunger fanish is through 3-D printers. Although this may seem like a strange strategy, it is surprisingly very effective. Inventor Ajan Contractor, 3-D printing food is possible. He creates food cubes that include nutrition needed for daily meals, which include proteins, carbs , and sugars. An average food cube may include a mix of algae and grasshopper. Although this may not be appealing to most of us, it is still a great way to pack all the nutrition need for a starving

    The world hunger is the deadliest disease in the world today, despite the fact that there is more food on earth, but fewer people cannot have access to this food, or even get the opportunity to grow some due to poverty, or lack of good soil to grow crops. World hunger is caused when natural resources become destroyed by earthquakes, or civil war. Another reason is drought and flooding. World hunger is also an issue in undeveloped countries because of political corruption, poverty, environmental issues, overpopulation, economics, and pestilence. It is sad to see people dying from malnutrition, and starvation every second. While we that have it doesn’t seem to appreciate it but waste it instead of helping those that in need of it.

    As the world population grows so does the amount of people that live without the proper amount of nutrition and food. Hunger in America can be hard to recognize and many people do not realize that hunger and malnutrition is a problem that many Americans face every day. America is the land of plenty and one of the most powerful and wealthy countries in the world, however is well known that is subject to problem such as starvation, considered as “third-world problem”. For decades, Americans have gone above and beyond to aid other countries that were faced with problems such as malnutrition and hunger. Sadly, the US has failed to aid them and millions are currently suffering from hunger. In addition, with how the economy is now, the effects of hunger are getting worse every day. Many Americans are relying and most of them depend on food stamps and private organizations to help with this crisis. The documentary, “A Place at the Table” by Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush present some issues and real life story to explain what is really happening and how hunger and obesity are not problems on opposite ends of a spectrum, but are in fact intricately linked. Poor nutrition, health problem and poverty are all related.

    The most interesting topic to me throughout the quarter was the topic of food waste and how food progressed over time as well as the appreciation for food diminishes. The topic of world hunger is prevalent throughout the quarter. Especially during the beginning of the quarter, I remember reading, “How agriculture can improve health and nutrition”, written by Jared Diamond.

  • Propositions for Mitigating the Effects of Global Hunger

    1542 Words  | 4 Pages

    The last 20 years, hunger rates have abated by almost half, however with increasing food prices, global hunger is expected to accrue as well. (Anderson, 2007). About 40 to 60 million people, mainly children, die every year because of hunger. (Robbins, 2012). Close to 200 million children under five years old are malnourished. (Robbins, 2012). Many people may ask how hunger, in developing countries, such as Africa, can be stopped or even solved. The question seems to be; does more food need to be more food produced or is there enough for everyone on earth? If there is enough food, why does not every one have plenty to stay healthy? Hunger, in Africa and other developing countries, could be significantly mitigated or even wiped out if the people in the world worked together using technology and resources available.

  • Stop The World Going Hungry Analysis

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Big Agriculture is the Only Option to Stop the World Going Hungry,” Jay Rayner states that, “We need to abandon the mythologies around agriculture, (…) and recognize that farming really is an industry, much like car manufacturing or steel forging,” Whether he is right or not is a matter of perspective. What Rayner saying, though, is that we will have to embrace the modern industrial methods of farming, for the good of sustainability and mass production, for the coming “food security storm.” By “food security storm,” he is talking about managing our imports and exports of food safely. The only way the author offers a solution to the security problem, is by simply saying that we must embrace the modern, unhealthy, and downright disgusting methods of the industry of food, and just suck it up. The problem at hand here is stopping the world from going hungry, but mass producing food, even if it is more sustainable and manageable, comes at costs greater than the profits that on the long run,

    In this world there are many different types of challenges faced but individuals in different countries, as people work together to find a way to stop or solve these challenges there are also some challenges or situations that individuals, even as a group, cannot eliminate. The race to reach conclusions of situations is very desirable and is being worked on very efficiently, but one issue that people have mistaken into accomplishing is hunger. Hungry is present everywhere and not a lot of people can satisfy or fulfil that need. Lack of sanitation, unemployment, and unhealthy diet choices these are involved in an imaginary line called the poverty line. The idea of food banks is a good start into eliminating hungry but the process still has a

    In the past ten years the world population exceeded six billion people with most of the growth occurring in the poorest, least developed countries in the world. The rapidly increasing population and the quickly declining amount of land are relative and the rate at which hunger is increasing rises with each passing year. We cannot afford to continue to expand our world population at such an alarming rate, for already we are suffering the consequences. Hunger has been a problem for our world for thousands of years. But now that we have the technology and knowledge to stamp it out, time is running short.

  • Poverty, Hunger and Malnutrition

    1151 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every morning when I wake up the first thought in my mind is usually: FOOD! I often lie in bed for a few extra minutes, planning out what I am going to eat for breakfast. Seldom as I go through this routine do I stop to think about those who are less fortunate than me. I often take for granted that everyone wakes up and eats breakfast. But this is far from true, not everyone shares the luxuries that we have in the United States. Some people wake up and wonder if they will eat at all that day, let alone eat breakfast. Why? Because food, like many other things, is unequally distributed throughout the world.

The world has more than 1.5 times enough food to feed everyone on this entire planet although with some people making less than two dollars an hour, it is hardly imaginable to be able to.

If we want this to happen, we have to take action. Now.
