6. Sources of Hunger
Poverty Conflict
Natural
Disasters
Gender
Inequality
Seasonal
Changes
Conflict often uproo
ts people from their
homes and land, so
food production dwi
ndles or stops com
pletely. Conflict als
o disrupts economi
es, so markets bec
ome unstable. This
leaves people who
are already vulnera
ble more susceptibl
e to malnutrition.
When people are in
a state of poverty, th
ey lack the resource
s to cover their basic
needs such as food,
water, and shelter.
Though women pr
oduce the majority
of food in developi
ng countries and a
re typically the pri
mary caregivers fo
r children, gender i
nequality in societi
es leads to a high
er malnutrition rat
e among women a
nd girls.
For people who live
in rural areas and
rely on farming and
livestock for food
and income, season
al changes in climate
, along with food pric
es and availability, af
fect hunger. This
results in annual cycl
es of hunger, known
as the “hunger seaso
n,” that are devastati
ng.
Much like conflict,
natural disasters
can destroy home
s, land, jobs, and
markets. Until co
mmunities can be
rebuilt, people aff
ected by natural d
isasters are at gr
eater risk for mal
nutrition. Climate
change plays a ro
le in increasing n
atural disasters.
