Factors That Give Hunger Grounds to Grow On

There is no single formula to reduce hunger from world. But, if you know the real reasons behind hunger, then this issue might be resolved. However, you first need to know what these real reasons are. In NYC and other cities, many organization taking action against hunger are working to educate more people about the factors that give hunger the grounds to grow on.



Here are some of these factors:


Natural Disasters

Have you ever had to dealt with a flood or disaster warning? In these situations, families usually go to a secure place, collect emergency food supplies and stock up to avoid hunger problem in case of an emergency. But, imagine being hit by a sudden natural disaster, with no warning. These situations lead to hunger as there are no one is prepared for the situation.

Lack of food combined with a natural disaster can lead to severe consequences.

Agriculture and Infrastructure

To maintain proper food production, farmers need proper training, equipment and tools like plows and tractors. They also need resources like seeds, storage and water system to increase food production. And, all these things contribute to the agricultural infrastructure. But, the scary thing is that in many communities and countries, there is the lack of these items, which leads to reduced food production and hunger issues.

Malnourishment

Hunger and malnutrition are closely connected. Malnourished women are more likely to be sick and have children with severe health issues. These children may lead an unhealthy life, which might affect their ability to work. It becomes a circle of almost no work, which means no money to afford food. It affect them as well as their families.

However, these problems can be solved if each of us decides to fight the hunger and malnutrition, so that everyone can have proper food and nutrition to live a healthy and happy life.

Why Immediate Response After A Disaster Is Important To Defeat Hunger Issues?

Natural disasters are one of the major factors behind increasing world hunger issues. And, the world hunger organizations all around the globe also believe in immediate response when a natural disaster hits a region. But, why is this immediate response important? How can it make a difference in the fight against world hunger?

Here are the details that describe how immediate response after a disaster can play an important role in ending hunger problems.

Complete emergency food needs – When a disaster strikes a region, many people lose their food source and become a victim of hunger. Depending on a disaster’s severeness, it can be days, weeks or even months before their food sources are restored. During this period, these people can become a victim of malnutrition. However, with the emergency response, this problem can be solved.

Focus on those who are in most need – In a natural disaster like flood, earthquake and draught, children and women suffer the most. If attention is not paid to the children and the pregnant women, they can fall victim of malnourishment. In children, it can affect their growth and in many unfortunate cases, may even lead to death.

In pregnant women, it can affect both their own and their child’s health. But, immediate response can overcome this problem and hundreds of lives can be saved.

To reduce the threat of poverty – A natural disaster can cause severe damage to properties and businesses. Many people lose their jobs and businesses due to these catastrophes. The loss of income and its source can lead to poverty if appropriate actions are not taken on time. And, poverty is one of the major factors in hunger problems.

Immediate response is essential to reduce the threat of poverty in a disaster hit area. It is necessary to respond to disasters and complete food shortages, so that the survivors can focus on standing up and trying again to regain their lives and future.

What Makes Hunger a Serious Global Problem?

Most people living in the developed countries believe that hunger and starvation are problems that exist only in underdeveloped or third world countries, and there too only at a minor scale. But, this is not true. Hunger is a serious global problem that needs immediate attention.

Here are some facts that will help shed some light on the severity and scale of this problem.

Hunger kills more people than diseases – According to the statistics, every year, hunger kills more people than many diseases combined such as AIDS, and malaria. It may seem a small issue that only affects a few countries, but it is major problem for a significant portion of the world population. Many people do not realize the gravity of the situation and the suffering that hunger is causing worldwide.

Hunger and malnutrition are also responsible for nearly 45% of all deaths in children under the age of 5, every year. It is essential to understand the problem of malnutrition and take appropriate actions to solve it.

It is a vicious cycle – The hunger problem is not something that can be solved immediately. Many world hunger relief organizations are working in this direction. But, the less aware people are about this problem the longer it will take to bring an end to it. And until then it will continue to perpetuate a virtually inescapable cycle for many poor souls around the world.

An undernourished mother will give birth to a weak child. Without proper nutrition, these children will become the victims of malnutrition themselves and become easy prey for infections and diseases. Those that survive will pass down this curse to their children. This is the vicious cycle that needs to be ended to save the next generation by taking the necessary actions.

Developing countries are not the only one affected – It is a common belief that hunger problems exist only in the developing countries like African nations or poor Asian countries. But, this is a misconception. These problems are prominent in developed nations too, even in the USA. According to statistics, 14 percent of households in America were food insecure in the year of 2014.

These facts show that the problem of hunger and malnutrition is not as small or insignificant as many believe it to be. It is time to pay attention and take action against these problems whether it’s in your own country or on a world level.

Do You Know The Myths About World Hunger?

Hunger is a situation where people are undernourished due to the lack of food consumption. This lack is usually caused by poverty and the absence of food justice in society. Regardless of the reasons, it is the poor people who suffer because of hunger problems.

However, not many people know a lot about these problems. In addition, there are many myths about hunger issues. Some of these myths are discussed below –

Myth 1It is a problem that exists only in developing countries – Most people believe that it is a problem that exists only in developing countries. But, hunger is a big issue even in the developed countries like United States. According to the facts, many Americans cannot afford food for themselves or their families.

Poverty is the main reason behind their struggle. Many U.S. citizens rely on a food bank for meals. a world hunger organization for help.

Myth 2Farmers are not a victim of these issues – It is a misconception among people that farmers do not endure the hunger problems. However, it is not true. Many small farmers work on others’ farms and fields. All the crops and money belong to the land’s owner. In the end, small farmers usually do not have enough money to afford meals for their families.

They may play an essential role in food production, but small farmers are also a victim of hunger issue.

Myth 3Lack of food is the main reason behind these problems – Many people believe that the lack of food causes hunger issues worldwide, which is not true. There is enough food to feed everyone in world. But, lots of food goes to waste due to improper distribution. On the other hand, many individuals cannot even afford eatables due to poverty and lack of income.

Myth 4Forests have nothing to do with the world hunger – Forests and these issues are two different things in many people’s opinions. But, forests can play an essential role in ending these problems. Woods can provide nutritious food items for individual who cannot purchase processed eatables.

It is vital to quell these myths with facts and information, so that more actions are taken in the direction of solving hunger problems.

Small Farmers Can Make Big Impact In Ending World Hunger!

One person in eight sleeps hungry every night and 2.3 million children die because of malnutrition. Millions more are struggling day and night to earn a good living, but cannot afford a healthy and nutritious food.

Each one getting proper nutritious food can surely end this problem. Adding to it, Several world hunger solutions can solve this problem. One such solution includes government supporting the small-scale farmers.

Some small-scale farmers are barely able to cultivate one-hectare land to feed their families, while most can’t manage to do even that. This wouldn’t be the case, if they got enough support from the government.

Given proper support, these small-scale farmers could potentially produce 80% of the world’s food production and manage to break the cycle of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty.

However, today these farmers are facing several issues like debt, climate changes, crop diseases and more, which are the prime reasons behind poor agriculture output. Lack of resources and money are some other reasons that are making things difficult for agriculturalists. All these factors are demoralizing farmers.

The lack of resources and support, subsequently, results in lesser agriculture yield, which is further adding to the problem of malnutrition. This is why encouraging and supporting small-scale farmers is essential. Providing support and incentives to farmers can prove beneficial in the following ways-

It will increase food production
It will improve food security and sovereignty
It will eliminate malnutrition
It will reduce poverty

Besides the support of government, numerous organizations and groups have joined the fight towards ending world hunger. Organizations are providing training to farmers, supporting them for bulk seed buying at reasonable prices, and organizing workshops.

These measures are proving to be quite helpful for farmers because they are learning new agricultural techniques that are not only improving their agriculture yield but also significantly reducing the impact of world hunger and malnutrition.

Reasons For Hunger In The World

To lead a health active life, it is important to consume good nutritious food. Unfortunately, approx. 795 million people in the world do not get enough food to lead a healthy life.

According to stats, the world produces food for entire global population of 7 billion people, yet, one person in nine goes to bed hungry each night.

There are many reasons that lead to hunger problem, which are as follows-

Poverty trap

People below poverty line are the ones who go to bed hungry every night. Serving nutritious food is a distant dream for them, when they can’t even afford two meals a day for their families.

In developing countries, farmers do not have money to buy seeds that could be used to plant crops for their families. Hence, poverty is the reason that is increasing the number of hungry people.

Lack of investment in agriculture

Countries that lack in agricultural infrastructure such as enough roads, warehouses, and irrigation are facing hunger problem. This is because improper infrastructure leads to high transport costs, lack of storage facilities and unreliable water supplies, which affects the agriculture process.

Hence, improving the land by using water more efficiently and planting seed will bring good improvements. According to the research by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, investment in agriculture helps reduce poverty.

Climate and weather

Natural disasters such as floods, storms, and lack of rain, spoil agriculture that leads to food shortages in the world. In 2011, natural disaster in parts of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya caused massive crop failure. In 2012, similar situation occurred in the Sahel region of West Africa.

War and displacement

War is another reason that disrupts farming and food production. This is because people have to flee from their homes and land. Subsequently, this leads to hunger emergencies.

Price hike of food items

Unstable price of food products puts food out of reach for people who are below the poverty line. This also affects the nutrition factor as rise in prices of food makes consumers opt for cheaper and less-nutritious food products.

To bring an end to this, many hunger organizations are working in this field. They provide food to needy people and spread awareness regarding food nutrition.

Eradicating World Hunger Still a Distant Dream

In 1991, the world’s nations committed themselves to a target of reducing the percentage of undernourished people in the world to half by 2015. As the end of 2015 draws near, it bears taking stock to see what progress we have made as regards world hunger.

Statistics provided by NGO’s and Government bodies committed to coming up with and applying world hunger solutions, confirm that the percentage of people suffering from and succumbing to hunger has indeed been reduced by a wide margin during the last two decades.

But these figures also make it clear that there is still a long way to go and the world is by no means ‘in the clear’ as far as hunger and undernourishment go.  A review of these facts and figures also brings to fore the deplorable conditions that many children in the developing world have to suffer and the appalling number of children who succumb to an empty stomach each year. The need to create concrete strategies to end childhood hunger and apply them swiftly is dire.

In the modern world where many of us are enjoying the benefits of technological and medical marvels, millions are dying as a consequence of lack of sustenance. The very basic amenities of human existence are denied them.

An alarming number of people (almost a billion!) still suffer from the detrimental effects of hunger. By a substantial margin, the worst hit geographical region in this respect is the Asia – Pacific, with every 2 out of 3 people suffering from undernourishment residing in this region. It is hardly surprising since the majority of the world’s population inhabits this part of the world.

Although efforts in the last twenty years have greatly reduced the percentage of undernourished people in the world, the dream of a hunger free world is still distant. The prime contributor as always to the hunger problem is poverty. Hence the stark difference between the number of the undernourished in the developed and developing world.

In a globalised world, international economic policies, more than ever, affect the fortunes of all nations. And more often than not these policies are bent to the will of the powerful and wealthy countries.

It falls upon the political and economic leaders of the world then, to create and impose policies that will uplift the world’s poor and continue the fight against world hunger.

Though many agencies, both government and private, are conducting efficient programs to reduce the problem still, there is a long way to go before the world can sleep with a full stomach.

How Ending Poverty Can Be Helpful In Eradicating World Child Hunger?

Poverty being one of the major concerns all around the world is affecting numerous children including infants who are yet not familiarized with the life.

When they have the right to live a happy life, most of them just strive around for the food, thus raising their voice to fulfill their empty stomach. Ultimately, this leads to deaths that are rising consistently all around the world. Well, this is something that we should bring a stop to and every child around the globe should get a chance to live a life that they deserve. 

Although, lot of initiatives are being taken by the people including many government and non-government organizations to eradicate the cause, but this is not enough, as lot of other things are to be done.

 We need to look for much quicker and better ideas to feed all those who are beyond our reach. Moreover, people from all countries should join hands to reach every corner of the world where people are still living a life below poverty line and strive for food.

The other way is to make food available to these children so that they can fill their stomachs and further no loss of life is seen that was earlier due to lack of food and care.

Poverty is one of the major weapons for many false prophet’s through children use for making human bombs, labor, and involve in many illegal activities for their benefit. We should bring our reach to these children and bring them out of such environment so that their lives that can be saved.

Sometimes, it becomes very difficult to reach each family that is below poverty line. Therefore, you can find the other alternative such as by making it possible to donate or contribute some money to organizations that work to support poor people. However, you need to be sure that to whom you are giving your helping hand, as there are some organizations that are only to obtain money.

On other hand, government plays an imperative role in providing resources and implementing policies that can be a great influence in the lives of poor and hungry children.

Poverty is worst that is affecting many people all around the world. Therefore, initiatives like providing feed to these children and implementing other strategies can help remove global hunger.

Hunger is scarcity of food in a country. In technical term, it is also referred as malnutrition (effects of not having good nutritious food) which leads to deficiency in body. Adverse effects of malnutrition even cause death.

Following are few micro nutrients deficiencies that lead to malnutrition-

  • Iron
  • Vitamin A
  • Iodine
  • Calcium
  • Iron
  • Zinc
  • Protein

The cause behind hunger or malnutrition is a fundamental question. Following are few facts that states reason behind hunger-


Poverty- Lack of resources in a family or unequal income distribution leads to poverty, which ends up causing hunger. According to World Bank statistics, over 1 billion poor people in developing countries are under poverty line. Subsequently, this has increased hunger amongst many poor people.

Conflict between countries- Conflicts worldwide affects many people that lead to increase in the number of hunger. The Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) estimates that more than 172 million people are affected because of conflict between the countries. Conflicts as a cause of hunger also increase higher death rate.

World population- Increasing population is the major cause behind hunger as not all can get a decent standard of living.

Climate change- Increasing drought, flooding, and changing climatic conditions spoil crops. This is another principal cause of hunger and increased death rate.

Food and agricultural policy- Government policies regarding food and agriculture has affected many lives of farmers and forced them to live a life below poverty line. Hence, it has also lead to increase in the number of deaths because of hunger.

Harmful economic systems- Economic and political system amongst various countries in the world is an underlying cause of poverty and hunger.
From the above stated reasons, you must have got an idea what are the key factors that lead to hunger.

These factors are affecting generations to come. A malnourished mother suffering from hunger gives birth to a malnutrition child that suffers from mental or growth problem.

To bring an end to this many world hunger organization have taken an initiative to educate people and children about the importance of nutrition diet.

In addition to it, organization provides nutritious food to everyone, which helps prevent people from any of deficiency or disease. Conclusion to all this is that end of poverty, bad climate condition, government rules and more can end hunger.

Types of malnutrition that becomes the major cause of death every year-

Iron deficiency- This is most commonly found in millions of people worldwide. Iron in body plays an important role of carrying oxygen in the blood. Deficiency of iron leads to tiredness in doing work. Cognitive development in children is also hampered because of the deficiency of iron. According to UNICEF report, approx. 40-60 percent of children aging 6-24 months are suffering from Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency.

Vitamin A- Deficiency of vitamin A increases risk of diarrhea, measles, and malaria. It can also further lead to death. Approx. 20-24 percent of people are suffering from vitamin A malnutrition. According to statistics, 140 million children going to preschool and seven million plus pregnant women suffer from child blindness.

Iodine deficiency- Malnutrition of iodine causes thyroid gland called a goiter, which has affected 780 million people worldwide. It has also caused adverse effects on the brain because for proper brain development iodine is must in body. According to researches, 20 million children are suffering from this deficiency. Pregnant women give birth to children with mental issues like mental retardation and physical stunting because they did not consume enough iodine.

How Forests Can Help In Ending World Hunger?

World hunger is a grave issue for which various solutions are being explored. Focus on ending child hunger, supporting small farmers, and ending poverty are some of the major solutions in the fight against hunger. But, forests are the aspects that are usually discounted.
People may not realize but forests could be the key to end world hunger. How? Answer is –

By supporting farmers and poor people – It is a well-known fact that small farmers profoundly depend on the natural resources including woodlands. Tree based farming provides better protection against the harsh weather conditions effectively protecting crops. It increases the food production and supports small farmers.

People who cannot afford other fuels like liquid petroleum gas (LPG gas) depend on wood fuels. Forests also help poor individuals in earning some capital. Many people sell various forest products such as oils, fruits etc., to get some extra income. This extra income helps in decreasing and eventually ending poverty, which is one of the major aspects in world hunger. Not being able to afford nutritious food is the probably the biggest reason behind world hunger.

By providing nutritious food options – You may not realize but woodlands also provide various nutritious food options such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, honey and more. Local people consume these options in their daily diet and get numerous nutrients. In case of a natural calamity like drought, these diet options become very essential for people.

By sheltering wild life including various food sources – Woodlands also provide shelter to wild life in which many are used as a food source.

It includes fishes and animals that are used for completing meat requirements of diet. It completes the nutrients requirements including fats, protein and more. All these diet options increase the overall nutrition level for an individual. It also keeps the animal balance in forests while local people get food to eat without spending money.

By providing feed for cattle – Many cattle farmers or small farmers with few cattle depend on forests for animals’ feed. Woodlands provide enough silage to feed their animals, which are an essential source of milk and other products. Waste of these animals is also used to produce biofuel, which reduces the financial burden on an individual.

As mentioned above, woodlands can play a major role in ending hunger worldwide. Natural resources like these may be the key to ending hunger.

How Organic Farming Can Contribute In The World Hunger Relief?

Malnutrition and hunger remains to be one of the serious issues throughout the world. Once you look at the world hunger statics, you will realize that millions of people around the globe do not have sufficient food to lead a healthy active standard of living. However, different organizations and groups are putting their efforts to find the best possible solution to future food security. 

Among all available solutions, organic farming can be a reliable option. The main idea of the organic farming is to grow food with the help of natural resources while keeping them intact and pollution free. To understand the role of organic farming in the world hunger end or relief, go through the factors given below-

  • Numbers of studies have revealed that organic techniques can provide much more food compared to conventional chemical-based agriculture. Hence, it can help us meet the need of growing food.
  • These techniques are especially beneficial for the areas that lack money, machinery and fossil fuels for industrial approaches, as it is based on traditional techniques that are less resource oriented. 
  • Organic farming does not contaminate the air, water, and land just like conventional farming. Hence, it produces long-term additional benefits, as it preserves and builds up the soil instead of depleting it.
  • Organic farming also keeps the soil fertilized for longer period, which means that farmers can utilize the land for longer duration of time. On the other hand, it also boosts the local biodiversity.

At the end, we can say that there are no reasons to say no or ignore the organic farming. Apart from its importance in ending the world hunger, it can also reduces the risk of aliments like cancer, heart related issues, etc. Therefore, it is essential for all of us to raise our voice to ensure that organic farming gets the required attention all over the globe.
