World Food Day
Every year on October 16th, World Food Day is celebrated. More than 150 countries banded together on this day to raise concerns of poverty and hunger.
According to World Hunger Statistics, 785 million people around the world do not have enough food to sustain a healthy lifestyle. About one in nine people in the world has been killed, according to the number. Surprisingly, the majority of hungry people live in developing countries. Poor diet accounts for 45% of deaths in children under the age of 5. Because they don't have access to enough nutritious food, only over three million children per year die each year.
World hunger is a complicated topic. Some believe the issue is solvable. The following are among the World hunger solutions:
- People can help themselves by supplying food in a healthy way
- People in developing countries need credit so they can start their own farms. Give people in developing countries access to credit so they can grow their own farms
- Individuals and businesses are encouraged to support hunger relief organizations by pledging to hunger relief organizations
- Provide access to education, which is the best defense against poverty and hunger, as the only defense against poverty and hunger is hunger
- Increased government involvement allows for increased government involvement
According to some experts, the answer to world hunger is much more straightforward. According to them, the best way to end world hunger is to avoid wasting food. Vegetables, cereals,, and starchy roots are among the most wasted foods. These foods are wasted during agricultural production and in postharvest storage. Food waste is driving the desire to produce more food. People go hungry when not enough food is produced.
