Essay on Salaries Gone Unjustified in the US
Imagine a man going to work on the farm every day. He works endlessly for hours and hours tending to the crops, feeding the animals in the hot
scorching sun, wishing he could sit down and take a break... a break that just never comes. He will work until his swollen and bruised feet give out
under him. He is working to put food on the table. He is working so that he won't have to watch his wife and kids die. Now imagine a different man,
he is a NFL player. He will work hard to emerge victorious. Now which man should be paid more? The farmer should, but reality is far from that. The
farmer will make just enough money to put food on the table. The football player will make far more than that, he will probably make the same amount

The money that is used for paying professional athletes is being wasted. Instead of using it to pay players every time that they get a goal or shot, that
money could be used to keep someone alive. According to Country Economy in 2011 the debt in Japan was 13,579,637. One of the highest paid team in
major league baseball, the New York Yankees, earns 203,197,405 a year (The Score)! The team could pay off all of Japan's debt in less than a year!
Fair to say, it is a whole team, but one single player could pay off all of United States debt as well. According to The Score "Hiroki Kuroda makes 16
million dollars in a single year." A whole countries debt! And yet look at how this money is wasted. According toWorld Food Programme "842 million
people in the world do not have enough to eat." If athlete's weren't paid so much these 842 million people would have something to eat, and would

Hunger Is A Disease That Spreads No Matter
Hunger is a feeling that people everywhere around the world have and are experiencing. Those who are unfortunate to be suffering from hunger do
not know from where they will be getting their next meal. There are an estimated 842 millions of people who are exposed to hunger throughout the
world every day (Mason, 2013). Hunger affects the same group of people in first and third world countries in the same way. The only difference is that
there are more people affected by hunger in third and second world countries than those in developed countries. Hunger affects the vast majority of
people who live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 34 million people live in former Soviet Union and 10 million live in industrialized countries

Political factors such as war and violence, social factors like poverty and economic factors like income inequality challenge people to get food on their
tables.
Causes of world hunger
A major social factor that contributes to world hunger is poverty. 1,345 million people in developing countries are estimated to live on $1.25 a day
or less (Hunger Notes, 2013). Poverty is a cause of hunger because people simply do not have enough money to buy it. Those living in developing
countries are the ones that are affected the most and as a result suffer the most because of a lack of availability in food (Castleman, 2003). With
this kind of income poor people cannot afford to feed themselves and most definitely their families. In the same way that poverty can cause hunger,
lack of food can contribute to poverty. If a person does not consume the right amount of calories a day they will most likely not function properly
throughout the day and as a result will not be able to perform any kind of work. No job or work means no income, and no income means no money
for food. Those left in poverty remain without a voice and they pretty much have no one to represent them and to speak out for them. They are left
forgotten in the darkness of their misery with a feeling of hopelessness. When it comes to the government they pretty much make policies and laws that

Why do people die of hunger? What are some solutions to this problem?
The world is very small stage in a vast cosmic arena, yet it can easily accommodate the needs of 7 billion; regardless of this fact, one 9 people still go

Climate and Weather
Per the WFP, "Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and extended periods of drought are on the increase–– with calamitous consequences
for the hungry poor in developing countries. Drought is already one of the most common causes of food shortages in the world. In 2011, persistent
lack of rain caused crop failures and heavy livestock losses in parts of Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In 2012 there was an analogous situation in the
Sahel region of West Africa. In many countries, climate change is exacerbating already tough conditions. The world's fertile farmland is under threat
from erosion, salinization, and desertification. Meanwhile, deforestation by human hands accelerates the erosion of land which could be used for
growing food," (WFP, "What Causes Hunger?).
War and Displacement
The world has seen less large–scale conflict in the 21st century, yet there have been increased small scale conflicts like the war in Syria. The civil
war which is so large it has actually spilled into open conflict in Iraq and the border of Turkey has displaced millions of people. Conflicts like this
can disrupt food supplies across entire regions as armies try to starve out each other's populations. Africa has experienced these kinds of conflicts again

Persuasive Essay On World Hunger
World hunger is on the rise since the turn of the century. Many people overlook world hunger because there are many organizations supporting the
cause. Awareness has been brought towards the cause but surprisingly the number still keeps going up. "In 2016, the number of chronically
undernourished people reached 815 million, up 38 million from the previous year" (McVeigh, K). Having 11% of the world's population be
undernourished is a serious problem that many people are not aware of. Even though there is a campaign to end world hunger by 2030 it will be
impossible to achieve if people don't start to help. UNICEF has recognized this and has launched it's own world hunger campaign that has inspired
many to make a difference. "There are 795 million people in the world that do not posses the nutritional necessities to live a healthy life" (World
Hunger Statistics). Furthermore, one in seven people on Earth are hungry. It is just not hunger that affects so many people in the world, but also
lack of clean water. UNICEF understands this issue and has conducted its own research. "In 2012 it was estimated by UNICEF that alone 6.6 million
children under the age of five died that year from preventable causes" (EVERY CHILD COUNTS). That is like losing the entire population of Los
Angeles and Chicago combined. Of those 6.6 million children, nearly 45% died of poor nutrition. That is close to three million children.

According to UNICEF, wasting is the gradual deterioration in an individual. A value that is less than two standard deviations of the WHO from the
median weight for height for any age of a reference population would indicate wasting.
When comparing the two sets of data with a difference of twenty years between them, it appears as if Honduras has made little, if any, progress in
reducing child malnutrition. This is not the case. The data set from 2017 was more centered on rural areas and the other set from 1997 was looking at
the entire country. Understanding the differences between the two sets of data indicate that the rural and impoverished population of Honduras are
particularly vulnerable to malnutrition, particularly undernutrition and deficiency diseases. This can also be seen in Honduras's nutrition profile by the
USAID, where it reports that only 8% of children in the highest wealth quintile were stunted, while 42% of the children in the lowest wealth quintile
were stunted. Similarly, 11% of children whose mothers have secondary education are stunted, while the rate quadruples to 48% of children whose

Recently, financial and economic crises have pushed more people into hunger." Government policies, even those not concerning hunger issues, are
leading to increased problems in agricultural production. The effects of the policies often have monetary implications, which leads to the inability to
obtain food, and are not always directly related to farming. Since agriculture is the main local combatant of hunger these policies are extremely harmful
to the local populations. In The State of Food Insecurity in the World by theFood and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, provided
a case study on Ghana which states: "Ghana's currency lost about 30 percent of its value... means higher import costs for food, fuel and fertilizers, as

Genetically Modified Organisms ( Gmos ) Essay
Introduction
The concept of intentionally altering a naturally occurring organism's DNA in order to produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been
critically analyzed by both science and the mainstream media in the last decade. However, the genetic modification of organisms is not a recent
innovation as humans have been modifying organisms for over 30 000 years (Rangel, 2015). Back then, breeding through artificial selection was the
most prominent method of genetic engineering. Organisms with the most desirable traits would be bred together in order to create a new generation
of superior organisms. Throughout the centuries, the developments in science and technology have resulted in new methods of genetic engineering.
Now, genomes can be spliced in order to insert or remove genes. It has essentially come down to a copy and paste process with genes from animals
being inserted into plants as the common practice. GM foods are developed by scientists because there is some perceived advantage either to the
producer or consumer. For a GM food to be of theoretical benefit to the consumer and society as a whole, it should: increase crop yields due to the
introduced resistance to pests and disease, enhance the nutritional profile of an organism or increase the shelf life (Phillips, 2008).
Based on the projected benefits of GMOs, it is reasonable to ask and address the question of whether GMOs are capable of alleviating the societal
issues of world hunger and poverty.

The Issues Surrounding World Hunger
As we look around our world today, we see many of the struggles we face as a nations combined. From the striking pace of global warming to the
never–ending reoccurrence of both civil and international wars, there is still one issue that seems to continuously be thrown on the backburner.
Whether it be the highly industrialized United States and China or the severely undeveloped areas of Sub–Saharan Africa, the pandemic of world
hunger plagues all countries alike. According to Oxford English Dictionary (2014), hunger is referred to as the feeling of pain or weakness due to an
absence of food, but what causes this 'absence of food'? What prevents those suffering from accessing the proper nourishment? According to recent case
studies and statistical data, the worldwide dilemma of hunger has been directly linked to the increasing presence of poverty. It has since then been
hypothesized that the issues surrounding world hunger can ultimately be excised by directly combatting the matters related to poverty however, this
can only be accomplished by first gaining a clear and concise understanding of the problem at hand and only from there, with the aid of government
based resources, can we move forth to tackling the causes of poverty and ultimately hunger itself.

Nutrition Insecurity
According to the World Health Organization, malnutrition is shortages, excesses or disproportions in a person's intake of nutrients. It could also be
referred to as when the body does not have adequate nutrients in food due to health problems such as diarrhea. This is a big issue developing nations
where lack of clean water and poor sanitation are common. Millions of children are affected by poverty all over the world, and malnutrition has become
a serious problem for many communities (Finn, 2014). In developing nations, many children do not have access to the well–balanced, nutritious food
with the nutrients they need to develop properly. As a result, malnutrition can lead to health problems and even death. Food insecurity has currently
become the main issue with malnutrition which is an indicator of either overnutrition or undernutrition especially among the vulnerable group of
people (Ihab, A., Rohana, A., & Manan, W, 2015). Global forces could contribute to malnutrition such as environmental damage, advancement of
technology, transportation of goods, multinational corporation, lack of health information and social awareness that can affect any child at any point
in time as it remains a relevant risk factor for illness as well as death around the world (Muller & Krawinkel, 2005). Infant and children who experience

worry if we have time to make a homemade meal or if we should just get some takeout. However, this is not the case with millions of people around
the world, and more specifically children. Over 800 million people suffer from malnutrition. It is believed that 5 million children worldwide die from

The Importance Of Food Aid In Africa
Food aid is hard to summarize succinctly due to many related issues, but in general it is about providing food and related assistance to tackle hunger,
either in emergency situations, or to help with deeper, longer term hunger alleviation and achieve food security (where people do not have to live in
hunger or in fear of starvation). Food aid constituted over 20% of global aid flows in the 1960s, but is now less than 5%. Yet, it is still important
because of the prevalence of world hunger and the increase in food emergencies in the past decade. The decline of food aid, as well as the way in
which it is delivered and used, are therefore of importance. Food aid started off in the 1950s with the US and together with Canada accounted for over
90% of global food aid until the 1970s when the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) became a major player.
International food aid is largely driven by donors and international institutions (typically influenced by the interests of the donors). In 1967, the Food
Aid Convention (FAC) provided a set of policies for the donor countries, and is monitored by the Consultative Sub–Committee on Surplus Disposal
(CSSD). The CSSD's primary purpose is to ensure that food aid does not affect commercial imports and local production in recipient countries. In
effect, the CSSD ensures that food aid does not displace trade. And so it is criticized for serving the interests of donors, because when accepting
food aid, recipients commit to pay for imports of commercial food along with food aid as Frederic Mousseau notes in a report titled Food Aid or Food
Sovereignty? Ending World Hunger In Our Time.
In 2002 the Zambian government rejected 35,000 tons of food aid because of the possibility that it could be genetically modified (GM). During this

GM food aid arose globally. The government of Zambia remains firmly against both milled and nonmilled GM food imports. Other governments

The four most important global crops are maize, wheat, rice, and soybeans a new analysis found, but the change in weather because of global
warming has a large effect on food production globally (Limb, 2015). Global warming has also caused a rise in sea level, and droughts also pose a
problem for trying to feed the whole population, and raises the prices of staple foods (Puckett, 2011). In Canada we have the high, middle, and
low class, with lower class people struggling to make ends meet, and put meals on the table. The rise in food prices makes this harder, not only for
those in other countries but for people in our own country, potentially right next door. Individual grain prices were shown to have doubled in no
time at all during past production problems (Limb, 2015). Food shortage is a world wide problem, it does not just affect those in under developed
countries, it effects those close to us. If we are not going to become more mindful about our decisions, then the decline in staple foods, and the

At this moment there are approximately 842 million people worldwide that are hungry. This is about 1 of every 8th person you see. That's over 2.5
times the population of the United States. In 2012, more than 18,000 children younger than 5 died every day; most from preventable causes. It's
estimated that nearly 8,000 of these deaths were tied to hunger. That's about one every 10 seconds. Most of these kids died not from starvation, but from
malnutrition. Malnutrition means going too long without the right kind of food. Eating just enough to stay alive had weakened their bodies so much
that disease could come through and strike the final blow. In 2014, approximately 49 million Americans Struggled with Hunger, and continue to

World hunger is defined as the want or scarcity of food on a global level. Approximately 795 million people world–wide suffer from chronic
malnourishment and nearly all of them live in developing countries (2016 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics, 2016). The numbers are
shocking and humanitarian food aid is required to save the millions of men, women, and children that are at risk of death from starvation. There are
three primary types of aid; program aid or in–kind–aid, relief or emergency food aid, and project food aid.Project food aid "is delivered as part of a
specific project relating to the promotion of agriculture or economic development, nutrition, and food security, such as food for work or school
feeding programs" (Shah, 2007). The United Nation's World Food Programe (WFP) is the leading international organization providing food and

states that food security is defined as when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life.
Food security includes the physical and economic access to food that meets their dietary needs. It has been established that food security is built on
three factors, which include; food availability, food access, and food use. Food availability establishes that there are sufficient quantities that are
consistently available. Food access ensures there are sufficient resources available to obtain the food that are necessary for a nutritious diet. It needs to
be understood that food security is a very complex issue relating to sustainable development that is linked to health through malnutrition, sustainable
economic development, environment, and trade. Globally, while agriculture remains the largest employment sector of most developing countries, it is
important for a country's food security that there are international trade agreements.
With the population of the world continuing to grow and the need for an increased amount of food to sustain this population globally, it is important to

In the past couple of decades, immigration of skilled workers from developing countries has significantly increased. In the last 50 years alone, the
number of immigrants around the world increased approximately 50 percent (Bunarjee & Devi, 2003). This increase is mainly generated by push
factors that occur in their native countries. Technological development and better communication enabled many people around the world to see what is
happening beyond their borders and explore the possibility of immigrating to a developed country in order to have a better life (Bunrjee, Devi, 2003).
As a consequence, the void left behind by the immigration of the skilled workers has a negative result on the progress of the developing countries. For

This is not something which can be equated to the little amount of money they send home. The reality is clear that globalization contributes to the
crisis of the developing countries by limiting local resources and increasing the likelihood of foreign aid dependence. For example; statistics from
World Food Program WFP (2011), show that a total of 7.5 million individuals in Sudan received food and cash assistance fromWorld food programme.
If those people would have had the chance to utilize the resource available in their country, they might support themselves. Globalization also facilitates
the departure of the skilled workers to the wealthy and developed countries. The combination of these negative factors and many other circumstances
lead to the tragic scenarios that many developing countries and their suffering citizens experience every day.

The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) carries one
main effort, which is to achieve food security for everyone around the world. Their goals include
the elimination of hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. Not only do they want to
focus on food and agriculture, but they also want to drive forward the economic and social
progress for all. In essence, they strive to create sustainability and resilience. Sustainability is a
development that meets the needs of the present but does not take away the capability of meeting
the needs of future generations. Resilience is the ability of people, many in communities that are
confronted by disasters, to withstand damage and undergo rapid recovery. The FAO seeks to
create sustainability and resilience to improve our world for the present times, which will
positively affect the future times. The FAO has been helping people since it was founded in
1945. Today, the FAO still help people, like the ones in Haiti that were just devastated by
Hurricane Matthew. 800,000 people faced a lack of food security, and the FAO took actions

that food security is an international problem. Not only do people face it in poor countries like

Group Nutrition Training for Mothers in Timor–Leste
(Community Development Education Activity).
In Timor–Leste there are many cases of child and maternal mortality and high malnutrition because mothers lack knowledge about health issues and the
benefits of heath intervention (World Food Programme, 2014). Timor–Leste has a higher prevalence of malnourished children than other countries in
Asia (OXFAM Australia, 2014). In Timor–Leste children are mainly vulnerable, there are 47% of children under the age of five suffer from chronic
malnutrition (OXFAM Australia, 2014). Malnutrition weakens the immune system and can lead to a heightened risk of illness and disease (OXFAM
Australia, 2014).
With all of these child and mother health issues Timor–Leste, there is a need to have special health education groups for providing training to mothers
about nutrition in Timor–Leste. Malnutrition is not only about food. To prevent and treat malnutrition effectively, you need a broad approach which
also tackles other problems such as poor access to basic health services and inappropriate feeding and caring practices of children (World Food

developing countries face, one of the biggest victims to hunger is the small Caribbean country of Haiti. Hunger in Haiti affects the entire country, from
the rural countrysides to the major cities. Though hunger is already a big issue for Haiti, it has gotten worse in the past decade due to the extreme
poverty, heavy storms, and natural disasters that the country has faced. "In 1997 some 1.2 million Haitians didn 't have enough food to eat. A
decade later the number had more than doubled. Today, that figure is 6.7 million, that goes without food some days, can 't afford a balanced diet
or has limited access to food."("Goldberg") Natural disasters and extreme poverty have played large roles in Haiti's growing hunger problem.
Poverty plays a big role in hunger. Haiti has always had an issue with poverty, but it continues to get worse. "Haiti 's minimum wage is 200 gourdes a
day. Late last year, that salary was equivalent to about $4.75; today it 's about $4.54– a small difference that makes a big strain on the Haitian budget."

also the most populous country in the region. Even so, many members of Guatemala remain minimally active in the economy and live in poverty
(Guatemala 's government 1). Guatemala is rich in agricultural yet they don 't feed their own people.
According to the World Food Programme in 2009 Guatemala ranked 133 out of 187 countries in the Human Development Index of 2012 (1). The HDI
is a system used to rank countries on their overall achievements economically and socially. Guatemala faces a food insecurity crisis due to droughts.
The global economic crisis has reduced exports, foreign investments, tourism revenues and access to credit thereby increasing the government 's
budget deficit and unemployment. The rise in the price of agricultural inputs has reduced the availability of subsidized fertilizers (1). Farmers are
affected but not as much as families. Due to the crisis families are restricted to the access of food. In comparison to the United States families are less

make sense that pregnant mothers have easy access to the nutrient rich foods and prenatal vitamins they need to make sure the development of their
baby would be near perfect. For some women, that is not the case. There is an outstanding number of women who do not have the tools they need to
be able to have a healthy diet while pregnant with their children and this status carries over to after the child is born. Food security has different
meanings in different situations and contexts, based on location in the world. The definition being used for this paper is the running definition being
used is "continual, reliable access to safe nutritious and culturally appropriate food that provides a foundation for the pursuit of one's full human

but it does not create opportunities for the people. The unemployment rate before the earthquake was at a staggering 70 percent (Global Post). Instead
of empowering locals, projects have been created to provide instant, quantifiable results. As the country becomes more reliant on foreign aid, their
development as a nation is hindered. This, in turn, continues the vicious cycle of unsustainability. To quote a Chinese proverb, "Give a man a fish and
you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." International aid would also have been more beneficial if the Haitian

Persuasive Essay On Poverty
There are many global concerns, but one that continues to be a major problem is poverty. Along with poverty comes the inability to pay for things
that are vital to our health such as shelter, water, and food. Over the years there have been countless efforts to find a way to end poverty and feed
every person in the world. "Three–quarters of all hungry people live in rural areas, mainly in the villages of Asia and Africa"(Who Are The
Hungry?"). To get a perspective, "Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine
people on earth"("Hunger Statistics"). When thinking of it in terms of 1 out of every 9 people, you start to see that it's a larger problem than what we
know. We tend to ignore things that don't directly affect us and this is a major example of that. We see the commercials of the starving children in
other countries but we don't feel like it's of any importance to us since it isn't happening in our own neighborhood. Or is it? Just a couple years ago in
2014, "48.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, including 32.8 million adults and 15.3 million children"("Hunger and Poverty Facts
and Statistics"). This just goes to show that poverty could be in your own neighborhood and maybe you just didn't know it. While the vast majority of
those that can't afford to eat live in developing countries, poverty affects more than just them. Those who are undernourished are just one of the many
stakeholders involved in world hunger. The other main stakeholders include the various government and non–government organizations, regulatory
agencies, government entities, international organizations, private sectors, food corporations, and the general population. When looking at the big
picture of why there are starving people, we wonder if it's because there isn't enough food, or if there is just no way to get the food to them. There
are currently around 7 billion people on Earth and if we don't find a way to slow down on our numbers, there will not be enough food to feed

Hunger Is A Conflict With Hunger
Hunger is a conflict that many countries are having to deal with. People from all around the world have to suffer from lack of food or a disease
caused from hunger. It is our job to put a stop to it for good. Many causes of hunger are lack of investment in agriculture, changes in climate and
weather, poverty, unstable markets, and food wastage, as stated in WFP.org (2015). As a result, 795 million people suffer from lack of food and 3.5
million children die from hunger or diseases caused by hunger. One effect of hunger isMalnutrition. Malnutrition, at an early age, leads to reduced
physical and mental development during childhood. In fact, twenty million people die every year of diseases due to Malnutrition. One in seven people
in the United States suffers from lack of food.One of the countries that suffers the most from hunger is Asia. Australia suffers the least. Food
insecurity is the lack of access to enough food for a active and healthy lifestyle. To emphasize, the food insecurity rate is fifteen point eight percent ,
which is 49,078,000 people, as declared by WFP.org. In many countries, hunger is a normal condition. According to United Nations estimates, nearly

collapse of the government, men, women and children in torn clothes ran helplessly towards packages dropped from military planes towards the hot

In knowing this, Hardin however, chooses to eliminate the statistic entirely.
Within this scenario Hardin appeals to the readers with the presentation of a circumstance in which only two outcomes seem probable. Either the
passengers help ten more individuals and drown, or they neglect to help any, and float securely away with the "safety factor" still intact. Hardin
disregards the idea of helping some people, even if selected in a fairly arbitrary way: "Suppose we decide to preserve our small safety factor and
admit no more to the lifeboat. Our survival is then possible although we will have to be constantly on guard against boarding parties" (2). He
insinuates that once the decision is made to help some, the lifeboat passengers must attempt to save all of those drowning, which is clearly not feasible
given the carrying capacity of the lifeboat. Although the boat's capacity should not exceed the admission of more than ten people, why not admit three,
four, or even those ten? It seems rather unreasonable to deny help to every individual, when, although not all can be rescued, the boat clearly holds the
space for more. The same ideology may be applied in other philosophical debates, including the death penalty, as we discussed in lecture. Ernest Van

Malnutrition is once a person is not getting enough food or not getting the right sort of food, at that stage, deficiency disease is simply round the bend.
though individuals get enough to eat, they 're going to become starving if the food they eat does not provide the proper amounts of micronutrients –
vitamins and minerals – to satisfy daily nutritional requirements.
A malnourished person finds that their body has issue doing normal things like growing and resisting sickness. Physical work becomes problematic and
even learning talents is diminished. For women, physiological state becomes risky and that they can not be sure of producing enough breast milk.
The Issue
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is the leading reason for preventable blindness in kids and will increase the chance of sickness and death from severe
infections. In pregnant girls VAD causes night blindness and may increase the chance of maternal mortality.
Vitamin A deficiency could be a public health problem in more than half of all countries, particularly inAfrica, hitting hardest young kids and pregnant
girls in low–income countries.
Crucial for maternal and child survival, supplying adequate vitamin a in insecure areas will considerably cut back mortality. Conversely, its absence
causes a needlessly high risk of disease and death.
For children, lack of vitamin a causes severe visual impairment and blindness, and significantly increases the chance of severe illness, and even death,

agricultural lands of rural indigenous groups. Furthermore, profits from these natural resources are not evenly distributed, as is further evidenced by
the high disparities throughout the country, particularly between rural and urban communities. This, coupled with Peru's unorganized government and
susceptibility to natural disasters, is a recipe for disaster in terms of eliminating hunger. While "Peru has made tremendous strides economically and in
the fight against hunger", one in five children remains hungry (Albis). These improvements have led the World Bank to reclassify them as an
"upper–middle income economy" (World Bank). The upper–middle income country, which has enjoyed economic growth in recent decades, maintains
high levels of inequality. Seven million people (22.7 percent of the population) live in poverty, and more than a million (4.3 percent) in extreme
poverty, which is most prevalent in rural communities (UNICEF). Although chronic childmalnutrition fell to 14.5 percent in 2015, anemia rates have
experienced an upward trend since 2011, affecting 46 percent of children under three (World Health Organization). It is assessed that roughly "7.1

He works endlessly for hours and hours tending to the crops, feeding the animals in the hot scorching sun, wishing he could sit down and take a break... a break that just never comes. He will work until his swollen and bruised feet give out under him. He is working to put food on the table. He is working so that he won't have to watch his wife and kids die. Now imagine a different man, he is a NFL player. He will work hard to emerge victorious. Now which man should be paid more? The farmer should, but reality is far from that.

So then why are they being paid such enormous amounts of money? It just doesn't make sense. The money that is used for paying professional athletes is being wasted. Instead of using it to pay players every time that they get a goal or shot, that money could be used to keep someone alive. According to Country Economy in 2011 the debt in Japan was 13,579,637. One of the highest paid team in major league baseball, the New York Yankees, earns 203,197,405 a year (The Score)! The team could pay off all of Japan's debt in less than a year! Fair to say, it is a whole team, but one single player could pay off all of United States debt as well. According to The Score "Hiroki Kuroda makes 16 million dollars in a single year." A whole countries debt! And yet look at how this money is wasted. According toWorld Food Programme "842 million people in the world do not have enough to eat." If athlete's weren't paid so much these 842 million people would have something to eat, and would not die from starvation. Why don't these athletes donate if they have so much money?

Those who are unfortunate to be suffering from hunger do not know from where they will be getting their next meal. There are an estimated 842 millions of people who are exposed to hunger throughout the world every day (Mason, 2013). Hunger affects the same group of people in first and third world countries in the same way. The only difference is that there are more people affected by hunger in third and second world countries than those in developed countries. Hunger affects the vast majority of people who live in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 34 million people live in former Soviet Union and 10 million live in industrialized countries (Mason, 2013). ...

Political factors such as war and violence, social factors like poverty and economic factors like income inequality challenge people to get food on their tables. Causes of world hunger A major social factor that contributes to world hunger is poverty. 1,345 million people in developing countries are estimated to live on $1.25 a day or less (Hunger Notes, 2013). Poverty is a cause of hunger because people simply do not have enough money to buy it. Those living in developing countries are the ones that are affected the most and as a result suffer the most because of a lack of availability in food (Castleman, 2003). With this kind of income poor people cannot afford to feed themselves and most definitely their families. In the same way that poverty can cause hunger, lack of food can contribute to poverty. If a person does not consume the right amount of calories a day they will most likely not function properly throughout the day and as a result will not be able to perform any kind of work. No job or work means no income, and no income means no money for food. Those left in poverty remain without a voice and they pretty much have no one to represent them and to speak out for them. They are left forgotten in the darkness of their misery with a feeling of hopelessness. When it comes to the government they pretty much make policies and laws that will end up beneficiating those in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The poverty trap, lack of investment in agriculture, climate as well as weather, war displacement, unstable markets, and food wastage.

Climate and Weather Per the WFP, "Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and extended periods of drought are on the increase–– with calamitous consequences for the hungry poor in developing countries. Drought is already one of the most common causes of food shortages in the world. In 2011, persistent lack of rain caused crop failures and heavy livestock losses in parts of Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In 2012 there was an analogous situation in the Sahel region of West Africa. In many countries, climate change is exacerbating already tough conditions. The world's fertile farmland is under threat from erosion, salinization, and desertification. Meanwhile, deforestation by human hands accelerates the erosion of land which could be used for growing food," (WFP, "What Causes Hunger?). War and Displacement The world has seen less large–scale conflict in the 21st century, yet there have been increased small scale conflicts like the war in Syria. The civil war which is so large it has actually spilled into open conflict in Iraq and the border of Turkey has displaced millions of people. Conflicts like this can disrupt food supplies across entire regions as armies try to starve out each other's populations.

  • 5. Persuasive Essay On World Hunger World hunger is on the rise since the turn of the century. Many people overlook world hunger because there are many organizations supporting the cause. Awareness has been brought towards the cause but surprisingly the number still keeps going up. "In 2016, the number of chronically undernourished people reached 815 million, up 38 million from the previous year" (McVeigh, K). Having 11% of the world's population be undernourished is a serious problem that many people are not aware of. Even though there is a campaign to end world hunger by 2030 it will be impossible to achieve if people don't start to help. UNICEF has recognized this and has launched it's own world hunger campaign that has inspired many to make a difference. "There are 795 million people in the world that do not posses the nutritional necessities to live a healthy life" (World Hunger Statistics). Furthermore, one in seven people on Earth are hungry. It is just not hunger that affects so many people in the world, but also lack of clean water. UNICEF understands this issue and has conducted its own research. "In 2012 it was estimated by UNICEF that alone 6.6 million children under the age of five died that year from preventable causes" (EVERY CHILD COUNTS). That is like losing the entire population of Los Angeles and Chicago combined. Of those 6.6 million children, nearly 45% died of poor nutrition. That is close to three million children.

A value that is less than two standard deviations of the WHO from the median weight for height for any age of a reference population would indicate wasting. When comparing the two sets of data with a difference of twenty years between them, it appears as if Honduras has made little, if any, progress in reducing child malnutrition. This is not the case. The data set from 2017 was more centered on rural areas and the other set from 1997 was looking at the entire country. Understanding the differences between the two sets of data indicate that the rural and impoverished population of Honduras are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition, particularly undernutrition and deficiency diseases. This can also be seen in Honduras's nutrition profile by the USAID, where it reports that only 8% of children in the highest wealth quintile were stunted, while 42% of the children in the lowest wealth quintile were stunted. Similarly, 11% of children whose mothers have secondary education are stunted, while the rate quadruples to 48% of children whose mothers had no formal education (2014).

Recently, financial and economic crises have pushed more people into hunger." Government policies, even those not concerning hunger issues, are leading to increased problems in agricultural production. The effects of the policies often have monetary implications, which leads to the inability to obtain food, and are not always directly related to farming. Since agriculture is the main local combatant of hunger these policies are extremely harmful to the local populations. In The State of Food Insecurity in the World by theFood and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, provided a case study on Ghana which states: "Ghana's currency lost about 30 percent of its value... means higher import costs for food, fuel and fertilizers, as well as higher debt repayments...Household purchasing power has been reduced as a result of lower prices for selected cash crops, declining remittances and rising inflation, including of food prices."

Before I commence with my speech, I would like to know how many of you took your breakfast this morning? Do you know the importance of breakfast in our daily lives? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is the first meal of the day we guzzle after a long period of fasting the night before. That is why we call it breakfast which means 'break the fast'. Unfortunately most of us tend to ignore the fact that breakfast is essential in one's life and just close one eye to it.

  • 10. Genetically Modified Organisms ( Gmos ) Essay Introduction The concept of intentionally altering a naturally occurring organism's DNA in order to produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been critically analyzed by both science and the mainstream media in the last decade. However, the genetic modification of organisms is not a recent innovation as humans have been modifying organisms for over 30 000 years (Rangel, 2015). Back then, breeding through artificial selection was the most prominent method of genetic engineering. Organisms with the most desirable traits would be bred together in order to create a new generation of superior organisms. Throughout the centuries, the developments in science and technology have resulted in new methods of genetic engineering. Now, genomes can be spliced in order to insert or remove genes. It has essentially come down to a copy and paste process with genes from animals being inserted into plants as the common practice. GM foods are developed by scientists because there is some perceived advantage either to the producer or consumer. For a GM food to be of theoretical benefit to the consumer and society as a whole, it should: increase crop yields due to the introduced resistance to pests and disease, enhance the nutritional profile of an organism or increase the shelf life (Phillips, 2008). Based on the projected benefits of GMOs, it is reasonable to ask and address the question of whether GMOs are capable of alleviating the societal issues of world hunger and poverty. ...

Hunger Problem In America Forgetting your phone or not having enough time to watch your favorite T.V. show may seem like a problem to you, but in reality there are far more devastating problems. 20,000 children under the age of five die every day due to hunger. Now, that is a problem. People around the world go without food everyday. Without food, a person's body can become malnourished, unhealthy, and weak. This causes many to be unable to work, and therefore have no money. This is the poverty trap.

  • 12. The Issues Surrounding World Hunger As we look around our world today, we see many of the struggles we face as a nations combined. From the striking pace of global warming to the never–ending reoccurrence of both civil and international wars, there is still one issue that seems to continuously be thrown on the backburner. Whether it be the highly industrialized United States and China or the severely undeveloped areas of Sub–Saharan Africa, the pandemic of world hunger plagues all countries alike. According to Oxford English Dictionary (2014), hunger is referred to as the feeling of pain or weakness due to an absence of food, but what causes this 'absence of food'? What prevents those suffering from accessing the proper nourishment? According to recent case studies and statistical data, the worldwide dilemma of hunger has been directly linked to the increasing presence of poverty. It has since then been hypothesized that the issues surrounding world hunger can ultimately be excised by directly combatting the matters related to poverty however, this can only be accomplished by first gaining a clear and concise understanding of the problem at hand and only from there, with the aid of government based resources, can we move forth to tackling the causes of poverty and ultimately hunger itself.

It could also be referred to as when the body does not have adequate nutrients in food due to health problems such as diarrhea. This is a big issue developing nations where lack of clean water and poor sanitation are common. Millions of children are affected by poverty all over the world, and malnutrition has become a serious problem for many communities (Finn, 2014). In developing nations, many children do not have access to the well–balanced, nutritious food with the nutrients they need to develop properly. As a result, malnutrition can lead to health problems and even death. Food insecurity has currently become the main issue with malnutrition which is an indicator of either overnutrition or undernutrition especially among the vulnerable group of people (Ihab, A., Rohana, A., & Manan, W, 2015). Global forces could contribute to malnutrition such as environmental damage, advancement of technology, transportation of goods, multinational corporation, lack of health information and social awareness that can affect any child at any point in time as it remains a relevant risk factor for illness as well as death around the world (Muller & Krawinkel, 2005). Infant and children who experience nutrition insecurity may experience developmental delays, illness, and academic challenges (Finn, 2004). Therefore, it is important for the policymakers a well ...

The only thing we may worry about is if we have the supplies we need to make our homemade meal or if a trip to the store will be needed. Or we may worry if we have time to make a homemade meal or if we should just get some takeout. However, this is not the case with millions of people around the world, and more specifically children. Over 800 million people suffer from malnutrition. It is believed that 5 million children worldwide die from malnutrition every year. This morning when I arrived to work there 2 kids in my office, both complaining of stomachaches. My first question was, have you had breakfast today? To which these students replied, No. I don't often see these students in my office, but it made me think about the students I used to see frequently at another school, on the poorer side of town. I would have students coming in almost on a daily basis asking for something to eat because they didn't eat at home. Mostly because it was near the end of the month, and they had ran out of food.

  • 16. The Importance Of Food Aid In Africa Food aid is hard to summarize succinctly due to many related issues, but in general it is about providing food and related assistance to tackle hunger, either in emergency situations, or to help with deeper, longer term hunger alleviation and achieve food security (where people do not have to live in hunger or in fear of starvation). Food aid constituted over 20% of global aid flows in the 1960s, but is now less than 5%. Yet, it is still important because of the prevalence of world hunger and the increase in food emergencies in the past decade. The decline of food aid, as well as the way in which it is delivered and used, are therefore of importance. Food aid started off in the 1950s with the US and together with Canada accounted for over 90% of global food aid until the 1970s when the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) became a major player. International food aid is largely driven by donors and international institutions (typically influenced by the interests of the donors). In 1967, the Food Aid Convention (FAC) provided a set of policies for the donor countries, and is monitored by the Consultative Sub–Committee on Surplus Disposal (CSSD). The CSSD's primary purpose is to ensure that food aid does not affect commercial imports and local production in recipient countries. In effect, the CSSD ensures that food aid does not displace trade. And so it is criticized for serving the interests of donors, because when accepting food aid, recipients commit to pay for imports of commercial food along with food aid as Frederic Mousseau notes in a report titled Food Aid or Food Sovereignty? Ending World Hunger In Our Time. In 2002 the Zambian government rejected 35,000 tons of food aid because of the possibility that it could be genetically modified (GM). During this time roughly 3 million people in Zambia faced severe food shortages and extreme hunger. As the government turned away this food aid, a debate over GM food aid arose globally. The government of Zambia remains firmly against both milled and nonmilled GM food imports. Other governments throughout southern Africa have placed similar restrictions, although most will accept milled GM food aid. Much of southern Africa remains skeptical of GM food for a ...

The four most important global crops are maize, wheat, rice, and soybeans a new analysis found, but the change in weather because of global warming has a large effect on food production globally (Limb, 2015). Global warming has also caused a rise in sea level, and droughts also pose a problem for trying to feed the whole population, and raises the prices of staple foods (Puckett, 2011). In Canada we have the high, middle, and low class, with lower class people struggling to make ends meet, and put meals on the table. The rise in food prices makes this harder, not only for those in other countries but for people in our own country, potentially right next door. Individual grain prices were shown to have doubled in no time at all during past production problems (Limb, 2015). Food shortage is a world wide problem, it does not just affect those in under developed countries, it effects those close to us.

At this moment there are approximately 842 million people worldwide that are hungry. This is about 1 of every 8th person you see. That's over 2.5 times the population of the United States. In 2012, more than 18,000 children younger than 5 died every day; most from preventable causes. It's estimated that nearly 8,000 of these deaths were tied to hunger. That's about one every 10 seconds. Most of these kids died not from starvation, but from malnutrition. Malnutrition means going too long without the right kind of food. Eating just enough to stay alive had weakened their bodies so much that disease could come through and strike the final blow. In 2014, approximately 49 million Americans Struggled with Hunger, and continue to struggle each and every day. There are people all around us that are hungry, and no one ever notices.

Approximately 795 million people world–wide suffer from chronic malnourishment and nearly all of them live in developing countries (2016 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics, 2016). The numbers are shocking and humanitarian food aid is required to save the millions of men, women, and children that are at risk of death from starvation. There are three primary types of aid; program aid or in–kind–aid, relief or emergency food aid, and project food aid.Project food aid "is delivered as part of a specific project relating to the promotion of agriculture or economic development, nutrition, and food security, such as food for work or school feeding programs" (Shah, 2007).

For purposes of this research, poverty is going to be looked at from the perspective of food security on a global level. ARS Food Security Research: USDA ARS. (2016) states that food security is defined as when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life. Food security includes the physical and economic access to food that meets their dietary needs. It has been established that food security is built on three factors, which include; food availability, food access, and food use. Food availability establishes that there are sufficient quantities that are consistently available. Food access ensures there are sufficient resources available to obtain the food that are necessary for a nutritious diet. It needs to be understood that food security is a very complex issue relating to sustainable development that is linked to health through malnutrition, sustainable economic development, environment, and trade. Globally, while agriculture remains the largest employment sector of most developing countries, it is important for a country's food security that there are international trade agreements.

The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) carries one main effort, which is to achieve food security for everyone around the world. Their goals include the elimination of hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. Not only do they want to focus on food and agriculture, but they also want to drive forward the economic and social progress for all. In essence, they strive to create sustainability and resilience. Sustainability is a development that meets the needs of the present but does not take away the capability of meeting the needs of future generations. Resilience is the ability of people, many in communities that are confronted by disasters, to withstand damage and undergo rapid recovery. The FAO seeks to create sustainability and resilience to improve our world for the present times, which will positively affect the future times. The FAO has been helping people since it was founded in 1945.

Major damage was caused at the Haitian capital, Port–au–Prince. The country was manifestly unprepared for this event and Haiti was propelled into a downward spiral. The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a devastating event which furthered the country's social, economic, and political instability. The earthquake ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, by purchasing imported food instead of locally–grown food, the prosperity of local farmers becomes undermined. This highlights Haiti's lack of self–sufficiency as a country. Haiti has become extremely reliant on other countries for it to barely scrape by. In response to the horrific earthquake, the world rallied together and pledged over $4.5 billion in aid to help alleviate Haiti's troubles. Of the pledged aid, $2.3 billion has already been disbursed (Washington Post). Yet, years after the incident, the country is still struggling to recover. The money is crucial for restoration, but it does not create opportunities for the people. The unemployment rate before the earthquake was at a staggering 70 percent (Global Post). Instead of empowering locals, projects have been created to provide instant, quantifiable results. As the country becomes more reliant on foreign aid, their development as a nation is hindered. This, in turn, continues the vicious cycle of unsustainability. To quote a Chinese proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." International aid would also have been more beneficial if the Haitian government had an honourable reputation. The earthquake unveiled the Haitian government's underlying problems.

  • 36. Persuasive Essay On Poverty There are many global concerns, but one that continues to be a major problem is poverty. Along with poverty comes the inability to pay for things that are vital to our health such as shelter, water, and food. Over the years there have been countless efforts to find a way to end poverty and feed every person in the world. "Three–quarters of all hungry people live in rural areas, mainly in the villages of Asia and Africa"(Who Are The Hungry?"). To get a perspective, "Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth"("Hunger Statistics"). When thinking of it in terms of 1 out of every 9 people, you start to see that it's a larger problem than what we know. We tend to ignore things that don't directly affect us and this is a major example of that. We see the commercials of the starving children in other countries but we don't feel like it's of any importance to us since it isn't happening in our own neighborhood. Or is it? Just a couple years ago in 2014, "48.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, including 32.8 million adults and 15.3 million children"("Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics"). This just goes to show that poverty could be in your own neighborhood and maybe you just didn't know it. While the vast majority of those that can't afford to eat live in developing countries, poverty affects more than just them. Those who are undernourished are just one of the many stakeholders involved in world hunger. The other main stakeholders include the various government and non–government organizations, regulatory agencies, government entities, international organizations, private sectors, food corporations, and the general population. When looking at the big picture of why there are starving people, we wonder if it's because there isn't enough food, or if there is just no way to get the food to them. There are currently around 7 billion people on Earth and if we don't find a way to slow down on our numbers, there will not be enough food to feed everyone in 2050. According to The New York Times, "The world has long produced enough calories, around 2,700 per day per human, more than enough to meet the United ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. Hunger Is A Conflict With Hunger Hunger is a conflict that many countries are having to deal with. People from all around the world have to suffer from lack of food or a disease caused from hunger. It is our job to put a stop to it for good. Many causes of hunger are lack of investment in agriculture, changes in climate and weather, poverty, unstable markets, and food wastage, as stated in WFP.org (2015). As a result, 795 million people suffer from lack of food and 3.5 million children die from hunger or diseases caused by hunger. One effect of hunger isMalnutrition. Malnutrition, at an early age, leads to reduced physical and mental development during childhood. In fact, twenty million people die every year of diseases due to Malnutrition. One in seven people in the United States suffers from lack of food.One of the countries that suffers the most from hunger is Asia. Australia suffers the least. Food insecurity is the lack of access to enough food for a active and healthy lifestyle. To emphasize, the food insecurity rate is fifteen point eight percent , which is 49,078,000 people, as declared by WFP.org. In many countries, hunger is a normal condition. According to United Nations estimates, nearly five hundred million people in the world have nothing to eat, as stated in Famine (Blumberg 3). The World 's oldest written account of Famine describes people starving because the Nile failed to overflow and irrigate the land.

Causes Of Malnutrition In Developing Countries World Food Programme Russian Federation Malnutrition in Developing Countries Anger and Loneliness Topic Background: The ever–growing problem of malnutrition plagues our world in the nations that cannot handle such a weight. Malnutrition is a dangerous state where a human is so deprived of the nutrients vital for survival that they are subject to death. The most important factors of malnutrition in countries that may be in a state of development are food insecurity water availability and food quality. For any type of solution to work, it is a guarantee that at least one of these must be taken into consideration. Currently 20 million people on the brink of starvation in the most undeveloped countries. In Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan, and Nigeria this problem is most relevant and this problem is always on the rise.1 A new report by the WFP shows that world hunger is on a large rise due to internal/external conflicts and climate change.2 According to The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World Report 2017, some 155 million children aged under five are stunted or too short. In addition to this, it seems that while 52 million suffer from wasting, meaning their weight is too low for their height, an estimated 41 million children are now overweight.3 Anaemia among women and adult obesity are also cause for concern.

  • 39. A Critique of "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping... Since 1991, the southern half of Somalia, a poverty stricken African nation, has seen various tribal militias battle for dominance and power over individual regions of the country. Violence has plagued Mogadishu, the capital, since warlords ousted the former president. Mere months after the collapse of the government, men, women and children in torn clothes ran helplessly towards packages dropped from military planes towards the hot sand of their tiny village. This action was one of many attempts to help underdeveloped nations receive food by the United Nations' World Food Programme. Within his article titled "Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor", Garret Hardin, a well–known philosopher of ecology, analyzes the difficulty ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In knowing this, Hardin however, chooses to eliminate the statistic entirely. Within this scenario Hardin appeals to the readers with the presentation of a circumstance in which only two outcomes seem probable. Either the passengers help ten more individuals and drown, or they neglect to help any, and float securely away with the "safety factor" still intact. Hardin disregards the idea of helping some people, even if selected in a fairly arbitrary way: "Suppose we decide to preserve our small safety factor and admit no more to the lifeboat. Our survival is then possible although we will have to be constantly on guard against boarding parties" (2). He insinuates that once the decision is made to help some, the lifeboat passengers must attempt to save all of those drowning, which is clearly not feasible given the carrying capacity of the lifeboat. Although the boat's capacity should not exceed the admission of more than ten people, why not admit three, four, or even those ten? It seems rather unreasonable to deny help to every individual, when, although not all can be rescued, the boat clearly holds the space for more. The same ideology may be applied in other philosophical debates, including the death penalty, as we discussed in lecture. Ernest Van Den Haag, a defender of the death penalty, explains in his article that the importance of punishment is not whether every individuals gets what they deserve, but rather that some, rather than none, of ...

Malnutrition is once a person is not getting enough food or not getting the right sort of food, at that stage, deficiency disease is simply round the bend. though individuals get enough to eat, they 're going to become starving if the food they eat does not provide the proper amounts of micronutrients – vitamins and minerals – to satisfy daily nutritional requirements. A malnourished person finds that their body has issue doing normal things like growing and resisting sickness. Physical work becomes problematic and even learning talents is diminished. For women, physiological state becomes risky and that they can not be sure of producing enough breast milk. The Issue Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is the leading reason for preventable blindness in kids and will increase the chance of sickness and death from severe infections. In pregnant girls VAD causes night blindness and may increase the chance of maternal mortality. Vitamin A deficiency could be a public health problem in more than half of all countries, particularly inAfrica, hitting hardest young kids and pregnant girls in low–income countries. Crucial for maternal and child survival, supplying adequate vitamin a in insecure areas will considerably cut back mortality. Conversely, its absence causes a needlessly high risk of disease and death. For children, lack of vitamin a causes severe visual impairment and blindness, and significantly increases the chance of severe illness, and even death, from such common childhood ...

  • 41. Causes Of Poverty In Peru Peru is a country rich in cultural heritage. Having the second largest indigenous population in North and South America, Peru has inconsistencies in the poverty divide between urban and rural communities (World Health Organization). According to the CIA World Factbook, forty –five percent of the total population, nearly 14 million people, are indigenous to Peru (World Factbook). The considerable divide between affluent andpoverty–stricken people is largely due to the isolation of the rural villages in the Andes Mountain rage. Over the past ten years, Peru has made significant advances in the reduction of the national poverty rate. Going from 48.5% in 2004 to 23.9% in 2013, the country has exhibited improved democratic progress but there are still major inequalities against indigenous people (The Hunger Project). As one of the "fastest growing economies in South America", the Peruvian government has made efforts to create a profitable natural resources exports sector (World Bank). However, these projects threaten the ancestral and agricultural lands of rural indigenous groups. Furthermore, profits from these natural resources are not evenly distributed, as is further evidenced by the high disparities throughout the country, particularly between rural and urban communities. This, coupled with Peru's unorganized government and susceptibility to natural disasters, is a recipe for disaster in terms of eliminating hunger. While "Peru has made tremendous strides economically and in the fight against hunger", one in five children remains hungry (Albis). These improvements have led the World Bank to reclassify them as an "upper–middle income economy" (World Bank). The upper–middle income country, which has enjoyed economic growth in recent decades, maintains high levels of inequality. Seven million people (22.7 percent of the population) live in poverty, and more than a million (4.3 percent) in extreme poverty, which is most prevalent in rural communities (UNICEF). Although chronic childmalnutrition fell to 14.5 percent in 2015, anemia rates have experienced an upward trend since 2011, affecting 46 percent of children under three (World Health Organization).
