The World Hunger, Part Three!

Hello,

We have to know hunger details.

The two basic elements of food security are, first, a regular food

supply large enough to meet human nutritional needs and,

second, access to a supply of food in sufficient quantity at all

times to maintain a healthy, active life,.The world hunger problem

is the absence of food security for 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the

world's population. The steady food supply could come from

fellow rich countries.

Hunger affects third World Nations in many ways also. A Third

World Nation or Country is a developing country, for example.

Ethiopia could be considered a Third World Country. Currently,

around fifteen to twenty million people die each year of hunger,

related causes, including diseases, brought on by lowered

resistance due to malnutrition. Over 40 per cent of all deaths in

poor countries occur among children under five years old. There

are the seven main reasons why poor countries can't provide food for

their people. The demand for exports. Wealthy countries demand

products like coffee, sugar, lumber, and grains for, poor countries.

So a poor country's economy moves away for, providing food and

resources for its own people. Government by the elite, Many of

the world's poorest and hungriest nations are controlled by

governments consisting of the nations' wealthiest members.

Government policies tend to favour the interests of the wealthy

rather than the poor. Conditions on aid programs, Aid that is

offered by wealthy countries to poor countries often comes with

strings attached. For example, a wealthy country might give a

poor country money, but require the poor country to use the

money to build roads, bridges, and airports.

This in no way helps the poor country provide food for its people.

Debt payments and conditions> Most poor countries are deeply

into debt to banks> Paying interest on loans takes money from

programs that could help eliminate hunger. Discrimination:

Ethnic, religious, and gender discrimination within poor countries

also, cause poverty. Religious and ethnic minorities are likely to be

more impoverished than other groups, and with no money comes

no food. Arms sales: Military spending by poor countries is

encouraged by rich countries that make and sell arms. Because of

this, valuable money which could go to help by food is spent on

weapons.
