Some New Insights
OCT 22, 2018 - 12:15 PM TO 01:45 PM EDTFAMINES IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Famine is a significant problem for many developing countries despite a global food surplus. Famine results from a shortage or inability to obtain food, often due to drought causing low food production. It occurs mainly in rural areas where farming and livestock are the primary means of livelihood. Nearly 30 million Africans could face famine in the coming months, with the horn of Africa, southern Africa, and the Sahel region of West Africa most at risk. Causes of famine in Africa include drought, lack of self-sufficiency requiring imports, armed conflict, environmental degradation, and climate change.
How Can We Feed The World?
The document discusses the challenge of feeding a growing global population and identifies technology and collaboration as keys to meeting future food needs. By 2050, the world's population will increase by 3 billion people and require 100% more food than currently produced. New technologies have already helped double food production, but 70% of additional future needs must come from technology. Working together, technology and collaboration can help ensure abundant, affordable food supplies and consumer choice for all.
Hunger and famine
The document discusses the problems of hunger and famine in Africa, outlining political, economic, and social causes as well as effects. It states that 38 million people face starvation due to absence of stable government, military conflict, drought, poverty, and AIDS/HIV, which have led to destroyed land, fatal crop failure, death of livestock, inability to afford food, and millions dying with no one left to harvest or produce food. It provides two things the U.S. can do to help: make food available and increase AIDS funding and care, and includes a link for what individuals can do.

Hunger and Famine in Africa
There are several causes of hunger and famine in Africa including drought which ruins harvests, lack of access to land and technology for small-scale farmers, and rising food prices. This leads to economic problems as many Africans live on less than $1 per day and countries rely on food imports. Proposed solutions include microloans to start small businesses and generate income to purchase food, and tree planting which could increase food production over time by preventing erosion and improving climate conditions for farmers. Tree planting is considered the best solution as it will offer sustainable resources and jobs in the long run.
Hunger in the Philippines
The document discusses the causes and effects of hunger and poverty. It states that poverty is the main underlying cause of hunger, as poor people lack resources to grow or buy enough food. Being undernourished then traps people in poverty, as they are too weak to earn enough money. Additional factors that can lead to food insecurity and hunger include natural disasters, rapid population growth, war, increasing food prices, and lack of agricultural infrastructure. The document also briefly mentions the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, a Philippine government anti-poverty initiative.

Horn of Africa Famine
Over 12 million people in the Horn of Africa are experiencing a famine crisis but this high number is expected to continue into 2012, with Somalia being one of the most affected areas that has faced over 20 years of conflict. Somalia is experiencing a complex humanitarian emergency due to escalated conflict, drought, food insecurity, and disease outbreaks. The United Nations has provided food aid to over half of Somalia's people in need but food insecurity is expected to remain a major problem.
Global Issues
The document summarizes several of the top global issues according to world geography:
1) Climate change and global warming are causing rising global temperatures due to increases in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from both natural events and human activities.
2) Communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis infect over one billion people due lack of access to healthcare and effective treatments.
3) Conflicts in places like Sudan, Iraq and Ethiopia have resulted in millions of deaths over thousands of years and continue to displace populations.

The Brussels Policy Briefing n. 54 on ”Sustainable agriculture: where are we on SDGs implementation?” took place on 27th February 2019 (European Commission, Charlemagne Building, Alcide de Gasperi Room, Rue de la Loi 170, 1040 Brussels).World Hunger - Africa
Hunger has always affected many people of many countries all around the world, such as in Asia and Africa. We want to raise more awareness to the public about the reasons for hunger, specifically for the people in Africa. We want to be able to show people how hunger is a growing problem to our modern world.
Development Annabel
Famine occurs due to a severe shortage of food caused by factors like poverty, drought, conflict, poor governance, and poor agriculture. When several of these factors are exacerbated by a government's failure to respond, widespread starvation known as famine results. During famines, organizations like GOAL send aid workers to deliver food and medical supplies to those in need. Famine and civil war both damage lives and societies by causing deaths, conflict, and the destruction of homes and infrastructure. They make global development inequalities worse by requiring resources to be diverted from development to saving lives and rebuilding after crises.
Tackling Hunger in India
This document summarizes the challenges of tackling hunger and malnutrition in India. It notes that underweight prevalence among children under 5 varies significantly between states, from 60% in Madhya Pradesh to 20% in Mizoram. While 16 states have made improvements, 13 states have seen worsening malnutrition rates. Reasons for high malnutrition include inadequate access to food, lack of maternal education, poor sanitation, and unsafe drinking water. The document also discusses legal actions initiated through the Supreme Court to establish the right to food, and outlines issues and challenges with implementing a proposed National Food Security Act.
Hunger and Food Security
14 March 2016. Brussels. DevCo External Cooperation InfoPoint. An overview of the situation of food and nutrition security in the world today was presented. Special emphasis was given to the current situation of El Niño, current droughts in Africa South of the Sahara, and potential policies that need to be put in place in the future to minimize these and associated risks.

The document discusses the global issue of poverty, highlighting alarming statistics about the number of people living in poverty, especially children. It notes that 20,000 children die every day due to poverty and poverty-related diseases. Over 1 billion children live in poverty worldwide and many lack basic necessities like clean water, sanitation, food, healthcare, and education. While progress has been made through humanitarian aid organizations, poverty remains a severe problem impacting billions of people globally. The document encourages readers to help address this issue through donations of money, time, and other resources to organizations working to alleviate poverty.
Global issues
This document discusses several global issues including malnutrition and famine, illiteracy, poverty, and the work of charities to address these issues. It notes that over 850 million people go to bed hungry each night despite there being enough global food production. It also states that 776 million adults have no secure literacy skills, with 75 million children not attending school. Poverty is examined in Africa where harsh conditions exacerbate poverty. Several charities are profiled including Oxfam, Book Aid International, and Doctors Without Borders that provide aid for issues like access to food, water, healthcare, and education.
NIGER PERIODIC FAMINE
The document discusses periodic famines that occur in Niger due to regional failures in food production or distribution systems. It describes Niger's geography and climate, with the northern half being part of the Sahara desert and the central and southern regions receiving more rainfall. Farming practices vary by region, from nomadic herding in the north to agro-pastoral systems and permanent villages in the central and south. The 2005 famine in Niger is examined, caused by below average rainfall and locust plagues that reduced crop yields, combined with poverty, high food prices, and depleted government food reserves. Short term responses included food aid while long term solutions focused on irrigation, dams, wells, and agricultural development.
Causes of food insecurity year10 biomes
Food security refers to reliable access to nutritious food, while food insecurity means limited or uncertain availability of nutritious foods. Developing countries in Africa and other parts of the third world have high population growth and are at greatest risk of food insecurity due to factors like soil degradation, pests, diseases, conflicts and wars, and increased frequency of droughts and other climate-related disasters. Corruption and political instability in these nations also undermine international food aid efforts.
Poverty and its types
This document discusses poverty and its types. It defines absolute poverty as a severe deprivation of basic human needs including food, water, shelter, and access to education. Absolute poverty is measured as living on less than $1.90 per day. Relative poverty is defined as a lack of resources compared to other members of a society and differs across countries and over time. The document provides statistics on the number of people living in poverty globally and describes the two major types of poverty as absolute and relative.
Usaidresearchjg
The document discusses the benefits of American aid to third world countries. It argues that American aid helps develop healthcare, education, economy, and government in impoverished nations. American aid also provides hope to these countries. For Americans, there are benefits like fulfilling moral obligations and creating new trade partnerships. Eventually, with American assistance, these foreign countries will be able to become independent and developed nations.

Poverty ppt
This document discusses poverty from several perspectives. It begins by defining poverty and outlining types of poverty such as absolute and relative poverty. It then examines causes of poverty such as inefficient agricultural practices, war, and lack of access to resources. Statistics about global poverty are presented, such as over 22,000 children dying daily from poverty-related causes. Potential solutions to eradicating poverty focus on generating employment, raising education levels, and appealing to governments and international organizations to make poverty elimination a priority.

Whitepaper on Food Security
The members of the United Nations found great value in the whitepaper you provided on population growth. They are now asking you to expand the whitepaper to include global food security as it relates to population growth and poverty. Read the overview and provide an assessment based on the questions below.
I.
Overview
We can define global food security as the effort to build food systems that can feed everyone, everywhere, and every day by improving its quality and promoting nutritional agriculture (1). That said, there are certain practices that can advance this project:
Identifying the underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition
Investing in country-specific recovery plans
Strengthening strategic coordination with institutions like the UN and the World Bank
Encouraging developed countries to make sustained financial commitments to its success
We must bear in mind that more than 3 billion people—nearly one-half of the world’s population—subsist on as little as $2.50 a day, with nearly 1.5 billion living in extreme poverty on less than $1.25 a day. According to the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and other relief agencies, about 20,000 people (mostly children) starve to death in the world every day, for a total of about 7 million people a year. In addition, about 750 million (twice the population of the United States) do not have access to clean drinking water, meaning that some one million people die every year from diarrhea caused by water-borne diseases.
The earth’s population has grown since it reached 7 billion in 2010. It is expected to reach 8 billion in 2025, 9 billion in 2040, and 11 billion by the end of the 21st century (2). If the demand for food is predicted to rise 50% by 2030 and 70% by 2050, the real problem is not necessarily growing enough food, but rather making that amount available to people. Moreover, food illnesses are prevalent, with nearly 600 million reported cases of foodborne diseases each year. These mainly affect children but can also negatively impact the livelihood of farmers, vendors, trade associations, and ultimately, can reduce the Gross Domestic Product (national income) of a country. These issues can impose tremendous human, economic, social, and fiscal costs on countries, so addressing them allows governments to devote more resources to making desperately needed infrastructure improvements that raise the quality of life for everyone.
It is not enough to have adequate supplies of food available. Policies that focus exclusively on food production can exacerbate the problem, particularly if, to satisfy the need for quantity, the quality of the food is left wanting.
Reasons for Food Insecurity
Certainly, poverty and the contributing systemic internal conditions are the driving factors behind keeping adequate food resources from reaching people, but it is only one of several. Others are discussed next.

The document discusses various ways to help address extreme poverty around the world. It notes that over 12% of people in the US live in poverty, compared to over 70% in Congo who suffer from malnutrition. While the US provides foreign aid, some of it has been misused or stolen by corrupt government officials in places like Afghanistan. The document proposes increasing education and awareness, encouraging donations even of small amounts, and investigating organizations working on issues like the IMF, World Bank, trade policies, and development programs in order to most effectively help reduce global poverty.

These mainly affect children but can also negatively impact the livelihood of farmers, vendors, trade associations, and ultimately, can reduce the Gross Domestic Product (national income) of a country.

Assignment 2 Whitepaper on Food SecurityThe members of the Unit.docx
Assignment 2: Whitepaper on Food Security
The members of the United Nations found great value in the whitepaper you provided on population growth. They are now asking you to expand the whitepaper to include global food security as it relates to population growth and poverty. Read the overview and provide an assessment based on the questions below.
I. Overview
We can define global food security as the effort to build food systems that can feed everyone, everywhere, and every day by improving its quality and promoting nutritional agriculture (1). That said, there are certain practices that can advance this project:
1. Identifying the underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition
2. Investing in country-specific recovery plans
3. Strengthening strategic coordination with institutions like the UN and the World Bank
4. Encouraging developed countries to make sustained financial commitments to its success
We must bear in mind that more than 3 billion people—nearly one-half of the world’s population—subsist on as little as $2.50 a day, with nearly 1.5 billion living in extreme poverty on less than $1.25 a day. According to the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and other relief agencies, about 20,000 people (mostly children) starve to death in the world every day, for a total of about 7 million people a year. In addition, about 750 million (twice the population of the United States) do not have access to clean drinking water, meaning that some one million people die every year from diarrhea caused by water-borne diseases.
The earth’s population has grown since it reached 7 billion in 2010. It is expected to reach 8 billion in 2025, 9 billion in 2040, and 11 billion by the end of the 21st century (2). If the demand for food is predicted to rise 50% by 2030 and 70% by 2050, the real problem is not necessarily growing enough food, but rather making that amount available to people. Moreover, food illnesses are prevalent, with nearly 600 million reported cases of foodborne diseases each year. These mainly affect children but can also negatively impact the livelihood of farmers, vendors, trade associations, and ultimately, can reduce the Gross Domestic Product (national income) of a country.

Assignment 3a Threats to the Global EnvironmentCongratula.docx
Assignment 3a: Threats to the Global Environment
Congratulations! The United Nations has hired you as a consultant on global issues.
Many of the UN members are not satisfied with the progress of the Millennium Development Goals.
They feel that the goals focus on the wrong issues. There is a disconnect between what issues the
UN developed countries believe are priorities and what many developing countries feel the
prioritized issues should be. For example, the country of Burundi has asked that one of the goals
be focused on food security. Austria, however, is adamant that the major current global issue is to
mediate ceasefires in countries in the midst of a civil war.
You have been asked to provide an unbiased perspective and identify the four issues you feel most
impact the global environment. You will present your findings at the next UN General Assembly.
Your goal is to provide a history of each issue, the number of countries affected, and the effects of
this threat to the world population.
Of the eight major threats listed below, choose the four that you consider the most critical.
Energy sources Civil war
Globalization Poor health of entire populations
Lack of educational opportunities Cultural taboos
Inappropriate uses of technology Climate change
For your presentation to the United Nations:
1. Develop a minimum of four slides per issue for a minimum total of 16 slides.
2. Provide at least a paragraph on each slide (in the notes section) to explain the reason this
information is relevant to the UN’s assessment.
a. To review how to do any of the required assignment deliverables in PowerPoint,
please refer to your Lynda.com account or reach out to your instructor ahead of time.
3. For each issue, create a graph or chart to analyze the data you have collected.
4. Cite at least five credible sources excluding Wikipedia, dictionaries, and encyclopedias.
This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different compared to
other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for
details. (Note: You’ll be prompted to enter your Blackboard login credentials to view these
standards.)

Poverty Around The World
The document discusses the causes and effects of global poverty. It outlines that poverty has direct economic impacts like increased bankruptcies and more people relying on food banks. Rising poverty is also linked to increased unemployment, hunger, and crime. Poverty hinders economic growth and prevents people from meeting basic needs. It disproportionately impacts developing nations through issues like debt burdens and lack of access to healthcare and education. Overall, the document examines how poverty is multidimensional and perpetuating, affecting individuals and societies around the world.
Human geography review
The document discusses standards of living and key indicators used to measure human development such as GDP, life expectancy, and literacy rates. It compares standards of living in developing countries like Mali, newly industrialized countries like India and China, and developed countries like the US and Japan. Developing countries have low infrastructure and rely on cash crops or commodities, while newly industrialized countries are building infrastructure and industries. The document also examines causes of poverty in developing countries such as debt, lack of education, and infectious diseases, as well as responses like debt relief, international aid, and work by organizations like UNICEF and WHO.

Reasons for Food Insecurity
Certainly, poverty and the contributing systemic internal conditions are the driving factors behind keeping adequate food resources from reaching people, but it is only one of several. Others are.
Food Shortage In Cuba
In the late 1980s, Cuba had a fairly successful economy dependent on Soviet subsidies. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Cuba lost these subsidies and was pushed into an economic crisis. Food shortages became prevalent as imports slowed down and stopped, triggering human migration out of Cuba and an imbalance in their development.
Solving World Hunger Essay
The document discusses the issue of world hunger and proposes several solutions. It begins by noting that although the earth has enough resources to support its population, many people lack access to food and safe water due to uneven distribution. Poor communities are often trapped in a cycle of poverty that is exacerbated by lack of nutrition and healthcare. The document then examines some root causes of poverty, including lack of education, health issues, economic factors, and debt. It argues that small changes like donations of food or money could help alleviate hunger. Overall, the document analyzes factors contributing to world hunger and advocates for more assistance to help lift people out of poverty.
100 Billion $ For War On Iraq Some
The document discusses various global population, economic, and social issues and poses questions about how $100 billion could better address pressing world problems rather than fund war. It notes rising global populations, a lack of adequate sanitation and access to water in many areas, and that over 10% of people in developed nations live in poverty. It questions if war is the best use of funds and if addressing issues like poverty, education, and sustainability would be more constructive ways to improve lives worldwide.

Main Points:
LE in the U.S. is diverse and fragmented
LE in the U.S. is predominantly local
Many employment opportunities at different levels
Federal Law Enforcement
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Budgets
Drug Interdiction
Lack of back-up for small jurisdictions
Anti-Terrorism
Immigration enforcement
Accountability
Training
Recruitment
Responding to emotionally disturbed individuals

Reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty throughout.docx
Reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty throughout the world is clearly one of the great moral challenges of our time. Although the issue is by no means absent from what we study and teach, as educators in the United States we appear to be falling short in the task of ensuring that our students are adequately informed about world poverty, its consequences, and the ways in which it can be reduced. Is it possible that some of the reluctance to deal with the topic stems from the fact that it may have uncomfortable conclusions for our own lives?
If we take seriously the idea that the value of a human life does not diminish when we cross national boundaries, then we ought to be giving a much higher priority to reducing world poverty. I have in mind a broad re-envisioning of what we teach.
We should not limit so important a topic to specialized courses on international development (valuable as they are). The issue should be prominent in anthropology, cultural studies, economics, ethics and sociology. In political-science courses, we should ask why we pay so little attention to people living in poverty outside our borders. Psychology courses could take up the factors that limit our willingness to give to distant strangers. Engineers might increase the amount of class time they devote to how their skills can be applied to assist the world's poorest people. Medical schools could focus more on the global burden of disease and how it might be reduced, and law students should be prompted to think about an international legal regime that allows American oil companies to buy oil from dictators who pocket most of the proceeds. Programs could also be produced to help to educate the broader public.
Nor should we shy away from reconsidering our emphasis on teaching in fields that have timeless artistic and cultural value. It is legitimate to ask: In a situation in which more people die each year from poverty-related causes than died in any one year during World War II, how much should we be spending on the refinement of our artistic sensitivities and those of our students?
I began to think about our obligations to the poor in 1971, when I was a graduate student in philosophy at the University of Oxford. A few years earlier, such a question would not have been considered one for philosophers to discuss. The prevailing view then was that the business of philosophy was to analyze the meanings of words. The linguistic analysis that preoccupied philosophers was supposed to be ethically neutral. We would discuss whether the statement "You ought to return the book you borrowed" expressed an attitude or stated a fact, but not whether it was always obligatory to return a borrowed book -- let alone to give to the poor.
The student movement of the 1960s demanded that the university become "relevant." In response, with war raging in Vietnam and civil disobedience against it at draft offices across the United States, a few philosophers began to revive ...

DOING BUSINESS WITH THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME
The document provides information for potential suppliers on how to do business with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). It summarizes that WFP is the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing food security. It purchases large quantities of food commodities as well as goods and services. Potential suppliers can register through the UN Global Marketplace portal to be considered for WFP's registered supplier roster. The document outlines WFP's procurement processes, guidelines for vendor registration, payment terms, bidding procedures, and expectations regarding delivery, packaging, and inspection of goods.
Working together
The document summarizes the responses of three Rome-based UN agencies - FAO, IFAD, and WFP - to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Within days of the tsunami, WFP began airlifting and ferrying food aid to over 2 million survivors across the affected region. Meanwhile, FAO helped governments rebuild agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors, while IFAD mobilized funds to rebuild livelihoods and build capacity in coastal communities. The agencies' efforts transitioned from emergency relief to long-term recovery and reconstruction. Their separate efforts have been complementary and cooperation is growing as emergency response ends and recovery increases.

The State Of Food Insecurity In The World 2006
The document provides an overview of progress made in reducing world hunger since the 1996 World Food Summit. It notes that while the percentage of undernourished people has declined slightly, the actual number has remained virtually unchanged, missing the Summit's target of halving hunger by 2015. Sub-Saharan Africa faces the greatest challenge, with one in three people still undernourished. Accelerating rural development, agricultural productivity, and direct support for poor, hungry communities will be key to making faster progress toward eradicating world hunger.
