Famine relief efforts aim to reduce starvation through various means. Providing cash or vouchers is a cheaper and faster way to deliver aid than shipping food, but may only provide temporary relief. Teaching farming skills can help the hungry feed themselves long-term through sustainable agriculture. Modern technologies could help developing new food production methods to prevent major starvation, but widespread action is needed across countries to secure global food security.

as an effort to reduce STARVATION

2. •World Health
Organization - hunger is
the single gravest threat to
the world's public health
•Malnutrition is by far the
biggest contributor to child
mortality, present in half of
all cases
•Six million children die of
hunger every year

3. •Almost 40% of the world's
agricultural land is
seriously degraded
•Increased farming for use
in biofuels is causing
higher prices
•Water deficits have a
strong impacts on harvests
•Persistence of pesticides is leading to soil
contamination and decline of area available for
farming
•Sudden climate changes
•Overpopulation
•War

4. •In spite of the much
greater technological and
economic resources of the
modern world, famine still
strikes many parts of the
world, mostly in the
developing nations.
•Around 925 million under-
or malnourished people in
the world in 2010

5. The chances of saving lives are greatly reduced when food is imported. By the
time it arrives in the country and gets to people, many will have die
Massive food shipments
sent to Somalia in 1992 had
little impact on the
outcome of the famine
Giving cash or cash vouchers instead of food is
a cheaper, faster, and more efficient way to
deliver help to the hungry, but how long can it
last

6. Teach the hungry to grow their own food
crops, so that they can feed themselves.
Conduct training programs in income-
generating activities such as farming,
gardening, animal breeding, and food
conservation

7. Conducting worldwide action to secure
sustainable food resources and sufficient food
levels is an imperative.
Sending food and/or money is just a short
term solution.
Modern technologies can help developing
new food production methods that can
prevent major starvation.
Sustainable agriculture is the long term solution.
Developed countries must take action and help
other regions develop, and by doing that make
famine history and prevent it from appearing
even in richest parts of the world

8. In one of the largest food producing countries
in the world, the United States, approximately
one out of six people are "food insecure",
including 17 million children.
No matter how big or rich your country may
seem, everyone is in danger.
OBESITY has more attention than STARVATION

9. WATER DEFICIENCY
CLIMATE CHANGES
NATURAL DISASTARS
OVEPRPOPULATION
A lot of terrible disasters are out of our control.
Those who are lucky enough to survive face the new one

10. Do your part!
Help others develop!
