In order to help end world hunger, I propose all governments send their best scientists and most successful business leaders to discuss how to create a food replicator.

One solution to developing something to end world hunger is to basically ignore the problem of people not having the ability to find food for their families. In the article “Think again: ignoring poverty and hunger” by Eric Alterman, he talks about how those that live in genuine poverty go hungry every day. During 2008, a report said that more than half of all Americans experience poverty by the age of 65. More often than not, the poor do not know how to ask for help. Nor do they willingly take advice. Many poor individuals grew up poor and/or homeless and therefore, know of no other way to …show more content…

Kabugi Salome Waithera wrote about how important agriculture is in second-world countries and that without proper irrigation and planting techniques, communities and villages will most likely either disappear or become nomads. Mr. Waithera states that teaching agriculture to students of all ages will help provide the needed education on how to provide food. He mentions that in Africa, agriculture is taught to primary-age students but not to older-age students. He advises that many secondary education students who are studying agriculture and husbandry often return to their villages or communities to help teach others. This is an amazingly feasible solution to end world hunger. If more wise teach the uneducated, and if the uneducated are willing to learn, hunger will cease to

In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.

I read chapter 6 of B. Evan Blaine's book Understanding the Psychology of Diversity, named "Understanding Gender Stereotypes and Sexism". The most intriguing aspect of these chapter to me are the distinguished types of sexism because before reading, I did not even know they existed. Blaine explains that hostile sexism are prejudices that label women as inferior to men and limit them to subordinate roles. Benevolent sexism is not expressed by negative attitudes rather, it is shown in describing women as objects to be protected and cared for. The underlying problem with this type of sexism is that it continues to regard women as weaker than men.

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it's almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.

The poor are not responsible for hungry lives, without water and electricity. There are deep inequalities and fundamental deficiencies of social organization. The problem of hunger is not only a question of food production (the bigger, the better) but also of access to food and equity. There are no winners and losers. With these degrees of exclusion, we 're all losers.

“Education is critical for breaking the cycle of poverty and yet over half of the world 's schools lack access to safe water and sanitation facilities” (the water project, a good education. pg2). This quote is so important because the only way to combat poverty is to have knowledge to do so. So without that power you can’t elevate and break the chain of hardship.

There are a lot of problems in the world like poverty and pollution but hunger seems to be the most severe to me. There are so many different types of people who are famished most of the day just because they are homeless or because of their race. Studies show former foster youth, L.G.B.T. students and students of color are at substantially increased risk. One group of people who are in hunger the most is college students. College alone is so expensive that a lot of students can’t afford to even feed themselves.

“One in six youngsters are at a risk of hunger because of limited or uncertain access to nutritious food” (“An Invisible Hunger”). This shows that countless houses in the U.S don’t have the basic essentials to feed a child. There are millions of ravenous kids in the U.S and there are very catastrophic effects because of this. “More than 17 million children are suffering from hunger in the U.S” (“Ending Childhood Hunger in America”). It was shocking to see the number this high.

Since 1990, the world has reduced the number of people who live in extreme poverty by over half. But that still leaves 767 million people living on the edge of survival with less than $1.90 a day.2 The numbers of world hunger has gone down by a lot, but yet world hunger is still going on. Some of the poorest countries in the world have few to no jobs, and the few jobs that there are, are paid very little each day. Survival is key to these people and with the little money they have, it’s hard to do that. Across the globe, conflicts consistently disrupt farming and food production.

Literature Review: Theoretical Approaches, Empirical Studies, Analytical Concepts and Legal Frameworks Theoretical Approaches towards food security With respect to the theoretical approaches to food security, there are three theories developed in 1970s and 1980s as cause to food insecurity. The first one is Climate theory; this theory explains food insecurity as caused by climatic phenomena. Cox, related this theory with the concept of “famine belt” in which he directly links climate condition to food insecurity. This theory argued that in the national or local level, climate linked phenomena such as drought, floods and others are a major factor causing food insecurity (Cox, 1981, cited in Steven Engler,

Even the number of hungry people in the world exceeds the total population of US and European Union. Extreme hunger and mal¬nutrition remain as blockade to development and creates a set up from which people cannot easily go out.
