Poverty is general scarcity or dearth, or the state of one who lacks a
certain amount of material possessions or money.[1] Absolute poverty
OR destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs which
commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health
care and education. Relative poverty is defined contextually as
economic inequality in the location or society in which people live
 After the industrial revolution mass production
in factories made production goods increasingly
less expensive and more accessible. Of more
importance is the modernization of agriculture
such as fertilizers , to provide enough yield to
feed the population. The supply of basic needs
can be restricted by constraints on government
services such as corruption, tax avoidance debt
and loan conditionalities and by the brain drain
of health care and educational professionals.
Strategies of increasing income to make basic
needs more affordable typically include welfare,
economic freedoms, and providing financial
services.
 About 21,000 people die every day of hunger or
hunger-related causes, according to the United
Nations. This is one person every four seconds,
as you can see on this display. Sadly, it is
children who die most often.
 Yet there is plenty of food in the world for
everyone. The problem is that hungry people are
trapped in severe poverty. They lack the money
to buy enough food to nourish themselves. Being
constantly malnourished, they become weaker
and often sick. This makes them increasingly less
able to work, which then makes them even
poorer and hungrier. This downward spiral often
continues until death for them and their families.
