This lecture covers on the current scenario on world hunger and its challenge to food and nutritional sciences
World hunger
While food production has increased globally, 870 million people still experience hunger. The top causes of world hunger are war and conflict, weather and climate change, poor agricultural practices, population growth, and poverty. These issues disrupt food supply and production. Additionally, over a billion tons of food are wasted each year, while millions lack access to adequate nutrition. Reducing food waste and empowering communities through education, infrastructure, and stable political systems could help address the complex, systemic causes of world hunger.
World hunger
The document discusses world hunger, its causes, effects, and historical context. It notes that poverty, conflict, natural disasters, and seasonal changes are key causes of hunger. Hundreds of millions of people in countries like India, China, and several African nations currently face hunger. Hunger has negative health effects like stunted growth and reduced lifespan. While the world currently produces enough food to feed the global population, hunger persists due to issues of poverty, distribution, waste, and conflict. Non-profits and governments work to address hunger through food aid, farming efficiency programs, and technological solutions.
World hunger presentation ppt
In our opinion, poverty is the main reason for hunger, weather is it poverty of an individual or of a whole nation. In developing countries, governments can’t afford to support those in need for food and water and in developed countries there are some individuals who can’t afford their need due to lack of education which caused them to be unable to look for a source of income.
Natural disasters can cause poverty too. Governments should be able to provide shelter and food for those people who their houses and belongings were destroyed by natural disasters.
Malnutrition and Hunger
The document discusses malnutrition, hunger, and food security. It defines malnutrition as deficiencies or imbalances in nutrient intake, covering undernutrition and overnutrition. Hunger is defined as a physical discomfort from food shortage or lack of food. Food security exists when all people have access to sufficient nutritious food. The document notes that over 820 million people faced hunger in 2018, with Africa having the highest prevalence. It discusses causes of hunger like poverty, unequal income distribution, and climate change. Impacts include issues with cognitive and physical development as well as increased disease susceptibility. Ending hunger by 2030 will require ensuring year-round access to food, ending all forms of malnutrition, doubling small food producers' productivity and incomes, and

World Hunger Presentation
World hunger is a crippling crisis which plagues humanity. We are all one people, cosmopolitans. Together we can solve this crisis. The money necessary to end world hunger is nominal at best and cheap in relative reality to the economy. By ending world hunger, a seed will germinate in the throat of greed. Opportunity will blossom where watered. Philanthropy
Poverty and world hunger
Poverty and world hunger are closely linked, with poverty being the number one cause of death globally. An estimated 8 million people die from lack of food and nutrition each year, with 1 in 6 people suffering from malnutrition. Poverty is defined as being extremely poor and lacking basic resources for survival such as shelter, food, education, ability to pay debts, and good health. Children are especially vulnerable to world hunger resulting from poverty.
Childhood hunger
Childhood hunger remains a significant global problem, with over 2.6 million children dying each year due to hunger-related causes such as malnutrition and poor nutrition. Poor nutrition plays a role in at least half of the 7.6 million child deaths that occur annually. In developing countries, almost one out of every 15 children will die before their fifth birthday, highlighting the devastating impacts of childhood hunger.
Fad Diets
Fad diets promise quick weight loss but can be unhealthy and cause weight regain. They severely restrict calories or entire food groups like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Popular fad diets include Atkins, South Beach, and Scarsdale, which cut calories so low that they can damage organs. For lasting weight loss and health, it is better to make modest reductions to portion sizes, increase exercise, and follow a balanced diet as recommended by the food pyramid.

The 1967 Six-Day War began when Israel launched surprise air strikes against Egypt to preempt an imminent Egyptian attack. Israel quickly gained control of the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Over 250,000 Palestinians fled or were displaced from the newly occupied territories. The war was another military defeat for the Arab states but strengthened Palestinian nationalism and turned many Palestinians to more radical groups like the PLO. The territorial changes from the war formed the basis of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Social (vietnamese side)
The Vietnam War had severe social, health, and environmental consequences for both Vietnamese and American people. Millions of Vietnamese were displaced from their homes which were destroyed by bombing, leading many to become "boat people" trying to escape by sea. In Vietnam, poverty, prostitution, and drug abuse were common in shanty towns after the war. High levels of dioxin poisoning and unexploded mines caused ongoing health issues and deaths for Vietnamese. The environment in Vietnam was also severely damaged, with poisoned waterways and the destruction of millions of acres of forest. Americans soldiers struggled with adjustment issues like post-traumatic stress upon returning home and faced higher cancer risks from Agent Orange exposure.
IB History: Historiography Mao
The document discusses different perspectives on Mao Zedong and events during his rule in China such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. It outlines Chinese official views that emphasize Mao's contributions as well as critical Western views since the 1980s that have revised their earlier more sympathetic stances due to new evidence of human costs such as the 30-38 million deaths from famine during the Great Leap Forward. The document also examines varying interpretations of historical events from different time periods and ideological stances.
IB History: Sino-Soviet Split
The document summarizes the causes and major events of the Sino-Soviet split between China and the Soviet Union from the 1950s to the late 1970s. Key causes included border disputes, disagreements over socialist ideology and foreign policy, and personal animosities between Mao and Soviet leaders like Stalin and Khrushchev. Major events in the split included the USSR withdrawing aid from China in the late 1950s, China developing nuclear weapons independently in the 1960s, and both countries pointing nuclear missiles at each other in the late 1960s. The split began to ease in the late 1970s with the deaths of Mao and Brezhnev and the establishment of relations between China and the US.
IB History: The Great Leap Forward
The document provides background information on China's Great Leap Forward period from 1958-1962. It describes Mao Zedong's goals to rapidly industrialize China and catch up to Western nations. Peasants were organized into large communes and pushed to exceed production quotas. Mao's plans included a failed backyard steel production campaign that wasted resources and contributed to a widespread famine that killed hundreds of thousands.
IGCSE Global Perspectives Project: Euthanasia
This document discusses euthanasia and assisted death from a religious perspective. It defines euthanasia and provides brief points against the practice by stating it takes away life, disturbs God's plans, and while it may seem to help the individual or family by avoiding pain or being a burden, ultimately goes against God's will. The document references religious arguments against euthanasia and assisted death.
China Depth Study Glossary
The document provides definitions and explanations of key terms and events related to modern Chinese history from the early 20th century to the post-Mao reform era, including political campaigns, economic reforms, religious and philosophical movements, revolutionary organizations and figures, and Sino-foreign relations. Events covered include the 1927 Canton commune, the 1955 agricultural cooperatives, the 1973 Anti-Lin Biao campaign, and the introduction of the contract responsibility system in the 1980s. People mentioned include Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Duxiu, Chen Yun, and the empress dowager Cixi.
Chinese Revolution
The document summarizes major events in modern Chinese history from the late 19th century to present day. It describes the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912 and establishment of the Republic of China led by Sun Yat-sen. However, the republic faced weaknesses like disunity and foreign imperialism. Communist ideas grew under Mao Zedong, and civil war broke out between Nationalists and Communists. They temporarily united to fight the Japanese invasion from 1937-1945. The Communists emerged victorious in 1949, establishing the People's Republic of China under Mao's rule. His economic policies like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution had major impacts, though issues in China continue today around balancing reforms with communist ideals.
China 1911 1949
1. In the early 20th century, China was fragmented under various warlords after the fall of the Qing dynasty.
2. The Guomindang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, allied with the Communist Party to defeat the warlords during the Northern Expedition from 1926-1927.
3. However, Chiang turned on the communists, massacring them in Shanghai and Guangzhou. From 1928-1937, Chiang ruled China as dictator and focused on modernizing but faced growing communist and Japanese insurgencies.
Overivew of chinese history
