The main factors portrayed in the slides that contributed to food insecurity include:
- Increasing population (in Bangladesh) leading to loss of cultivable land for housing, industries, infrastructure etc.
- Natural disasters like flooding displacing agricultural lands (in Bangladesh).
- Civil wars, natural disasters and changing climate (in Democratic Republic of Congo).
- Poverty remains a major issue with many people living below the poverty line and unable to afford adequate nutrition (in Bangladesh).
- Lack of resources like improved seeds, irrigation facilities, soil/forest conservation methods which FAO aims to provide to countries to boost food production.
So in summary - the key drivers discussed were population pressure leading to loss of

International world food day A Presentation By Mr. Allah Dad Khan on 16th Oct...Mr.Allah Dad Khan
International world food day A Presentation By Mr. Allah Dad Khan on 16th October 2015 At Agriculture Training Institute Peshawar. Minister Agriculture KPK was the Chief Guest of the event.
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.
This presentation describes the function of the World Food Programme, the world's largest aid organisation and part of the United Nations, how it provides food aid to the malnourished and what problems it encounters along the way using Haiti as a case study, specifically following the 2004 Haitian rebellion and the 2004-2008 hurricanes that struck the island.
A lecture in Quantitative Sustainability
It is often claimed that agricultural productivity needs to be increased in order to feed a growing world population. Food security depends on several factors besides the productivity, including waste/efficiency, energy crops, meat consumption, and global justice and equity. This lecture explores the issue of food security in its many dimensions and teaches how to use a high-level systems approach in sustainability science.
If you were told millions of people across the world are hungry not because we don’t produce enough food, but because we waste food, you’ll probably laugh it off. But then, this is a fact, an inconvenient truth to be precise, that we have long turned blind eye to. In fact, when it comes to food wastage, India is one of the major culprits.

Regina Moench-Pfanner - Diets in Transition: Urbanization & Processed Food at...HKUST IEMS
Recently, the Global Nutrition Report (2014-16) describes a new norm of malnutrition in Asian emerging markets: obesity and non-communicable diseases are on the rise, while a substantial proportion of people still suffer from undernutrition. People living in cities now outnumber those living in rural areas and research suggests a convergence in urban and rural consumer demand for packaged or processed foods within low- and middle-income Asian countries. Both how economics favors the production of cheap, energy-dense but nutrient-poor foods and their growing contributions to modern diets in low- and medium-income populations are important factors in the growing double-burden of malnutrition and disease. All sectors involved in the food and nutrition value-chain need to work together to achieve the research-driven incremental improvements and disruptive innovations that shift the factors of food production and consumption towards improved nutritional and health-related outcomes.

3. INTRODUCTION
Some people in India, and even the world do not get
meals . These are called FOOD PROBLEMS OF THE
WORLD.
The following can led to food problems-
Poverty
Food Wastage
Natural Disasters
Climate and Weather
In this project, we have included some countries
having food problems and the measures to be
taken to resolve the grave issue affecting world
wide.
7. WHY IS THERE FOOD SHORTAGE?
BANGLADESH is beset with many problems. Food problem is the one
and the most serious of all. Increasing population is the major cause
of food problem. Every year Bangladesh is losing about 80 thousand
hectares of its cultivable land due to the following factors-
HOUSING, SETTING UP INDUSTRIES, SCHOOL, COLLEGE,
HOSPITAL, CONSTRUCTING ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, AND
OTHER INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTS.
Statistics show that if this rate goes on , Bangladesh will have no
agricultural land after 2080.Weather conditions are also a problem for
food problems. Latest monsoon rains have broken the river banks,
causing severe flooding and displacing agricultural lands.
13. Democratic republic of Congo has many issues within their nation
and hunger being a huge issue. Hunger is a real problem within
the world. In 2010 it was reported that 925million people go
hungry each year in Congo. Hunger issues in Congo are really
bad. A report done by International Food Policy Research Institute
putted Congo the worst country in Global Hunger Index. Factors
building the food problems in Congo are-
Civil Wars,
Natural Disasters
Climate
A normal Congo person eats only one meal a day . Thousands of
children remain hungry for months and 16,000 people die every
day because of hunger. If this continues, soon no one will be
living in Congo.

16. FAO (FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL
ORGANISATION) is a United Nations Agency
which helps in providing food for all. Its main
aim is “freedom from hunger”. It makes
available the resources for improving food
production. It is done by providing countries
with better seeds , controlling crop and animal
diseases , by improving irrigation facilities , by
providing better means of conservation of soil
and forests , etc.

19. FAO –FIRST TO HELP
BANGLADESH
FAO was one of the first international agencies
to extend a considerable amount of assistance
to Bangladesh to support relief and
rehabilitation. Bangladesh has had some
success in reducing its number of hungry
people because of FAO only.
20. ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE FAO
FOR BANGLADESH
Bangladesh has made substantial progress in
increasing food grain production over the last
two decades. The production of food grains in
2002-03 was 26.70 million metric tons, which
reached 28.60 million tons in the year 2003-
04 which improved overall food security
situation. Thus per capita availability of food
grains (rice+wheat) for FY03 was 202
kgs/capita/year.
21. Poverty head count ratio remains at
the level of 44.3% ( 5.5 million people
lying under food-based absolute
poverty line). The hard core poverty
head count ratio, though, declined
over the years still counts more than
24.5 million people. Both rural and
urban Poor have low incomes and thus
low purchasing powers, which
increase the chances of consuming
food of poorer quality that may well
be also unsafe.
22.
23. ACTIONS TAKEN BY FAO FOR
CONGO
FAO has helped and also helping Congo to
reduce Congo ‘s hungry population in the
recent years by the following methods-
FAO collects donation of food items and
send to Congo to save thousands of hungry
population.
FAO asked the Congo Government to take
action for saving agricultural lands and use
hybride seeds to increase agricultural

26. World FoodDay:
The Wonder of Food
“There is enough to feed every person on the planet so no one should go
hungry”. With this motive, on the eve of World Food Day – OCTOBER,
16, 2014 a group – ‘FOOD SAVIOUR’ was formed.
OUR MOTIVE:
After all, hunger can affect anyone and unemployment has caused an
enormous rise in hunger and hardship across the world .We are lucky
enough to have enough food to eat everyday and think about how we
can take action to help those people who are not so lucky: people who face
the agonizing question every day, ‘where is my next meal coming
from?’
27. Course of action
Sensitize other students for the need to help through:
PPT
Posters
Awareness
March to create awareness
Slogans
Collection of dry food.
Connect with NGO.
…to help feed those who need it.
28. This is our earnest effort towards the noble cause of
sensitizing and urging the masses to use food in a
judicious way so the resources reach the needy and
starving souls of the world.
Let’s not fail to stir and emote the humane and
sympathetic emotions to lighten and paths of the less
fortunate and down-trodden.
In our efforts in the same regard, we wish you to go
through the following questionnaire and promote your
feedback to improvise conscious attempts.
