No Hunger

Hunger is a severe complication in this world. Even though there is substantial amount of food to feed the whole world, almost a billion people go to sleep hungry. Why is this fair to the billion people that don’t have food on their tables? Exactly; it’s not fair at all! Just imagine not eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week! It sounds impossible, but a billion people are forced to go to sleep hungry, longing and longing for a meal. The next time you think that you are hungry, just think about the people that have not eaten at all for a month! Hunger is a huge problem, and we need to find a way to solve it!

You may be thinking “Why is hunger a huge problem?”.Well I have the answer for you.
Hunger can be caused by lack of investment in agriculture, War and displacement, weather and climate, poverty, food wastage, unstable markets, and natural disasters. Drought is one of the most common causes for food shortage throughout the world. Poverty is one of the main causes of world hunger.

I think that hunger is such a problem, and it needs to be fixed. It is not fair that about 795 million people throughout the world lack a sufficient amount of food regularly. Children starting from under the age of five starve, up to adults. One in eight people are starving at this very moment. Three out of nine kids face forms of malnutrition. Every 30 seconds six children perish of hunger related illnesses.

Although global hunger is a huge problem in this world, it can be solved. Sustainable Development Goal Number Two is planned to be completed in fourteen years; 2030. In 2030 (according to the plan) hunger will be stopped, as well as all forms of malnutrition. By 2020, solvers would like to maintain the ancestral variety of cultivated plants, seeds, domestic and farmed animals, and more.

Hunger lowers the IQ of a child, and also slows down a child’s social and emotional level. The lack of food affects your immune system, your ability to learn/education, and to survive. If you are lacking food it is more likely for you to perish during a natural disaster and while fighting an illness.

Some places where hunger is occurring are Southern Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, although starvation is worldwide. Some of the hungriest areas in the world are Ethiopia, India , Pakistan, and China. Areas such as Mexico, Kenya, and Thailand use insects as part of their regular meals, while areas like Europe and North America would rather squish and crush a bug than eat one.

World hunger is one of the most critical issues of our time. Poverty and other devastating causes of hunger have created global hunger . Now, you have been informed about the billion people that go to sleep hungry, longing for food. Global hunger is such an extremely harmful conflict in this world, and it needs to be cared for and solved!
