World Hunger, are we doing enough?
Are we doing enough to end world hunger? Should we end it at all? When animals outnumber the food supply nature causes some to die of hunger. By preventing world hunger are we causing more problems down the line? If we should stop world hunger are we doing enough? Are some of these charities taking too much of the pie before the food and money gets to the poor?
Why are we waiting?
They once called it the grain basket of Africa, now it suffering a major hunger crisis, and why? Because of a government that refuses to accept its own failings. Zimbabwe has a starving population because the farms are not being worked properly, the inflation has made the price of food too expensive, and most of the population is unemployed. And all this has only happened in the past few years. How much longer are the people supposed to starve and suffer before we step in and do something? How many people need to die of hunger in a country that could be giving food to other hungry nations?
Rewarding the farmer
Most of the world’s food comes from only small percentage of land. And in places like Africa, the farmers working these lands get very in return for trying to feed the world. A couple of days ago the BBC listed a report warning that if more investment is not put into educating and training the worlds farmers than very soon an epidemic of hung.er will encompass much of the developing world. The report suggested if we don´t reward the custodians of the land, more workers will head to urbanized areas leading to further problems with the world food supply
Solutions to Solve Problem of World Hunger
Although the standard of living has risen all over the world, there are still many parts where people are living in abject poverty. The world hunger statistics point out to the fact that not everything is rosy with the world and still a lot needs to be done. Developed countries can take the initiative and contribute their might towards solving this problem. They can reach out to the poor countries and help them out of the food crisis that they are faced with. Every individual on their part should make it a point to not waste food. This would be in a way our humble contribution towards fighting world hunger.
