There is enough food produced globally each day to feed everyone, yet millions still go hungry due to a lack of consistent access to adequate, nutritious food. Food insecurity exists as a persistent problem in both developing and developed nations for various reasons. The document asks questions about where hunger is most prevalent, what causes it and what problems result, potential consequences and benefits of using biotechnologies in developing countries, and whether they should pursue such technologies based on current research.

1. Hite and Seitz (2016) show in Chapter 3: Food, there is enough
food produced and available to feed the entire world every day.
However, for various reasons, millions still go hungry, making
food security—having consistent access to adequate nutritional
food—a persistent global social problem in both developing and
developed countries.
Where do most of the world’s hungry live?
What are two causes of hunger and two problems that result?
What are some potential consequences and benefits to using
biotechnologies in developing countries? Based on the research
currently available, should developing countries pursue the use
of biotechnologies? Why or why not?
