Global food crisis-a most devastating phenomena: causes, severity and outlook...Vijay Keraba
global food crisis is becoming a very serious and most devastating phenomena of mankind. it need to be stopped, or else our next generation will witness a viral evil, food crisis.
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.
With unemployment reaching record levels, the demand for food from food banks have also reached new highs. The report gives a detailed overview of Feeding America, the largest hunger relief organization in the United States and the challenges facing food banks at a time when its needed the most.
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

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.
"The world's 200 wealthiest people have as much money as about 40% of the global population, and yet 850 million people have to go
to bed hungry every night."
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s socialist president: “The problem is not the production of food … it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.”

3. Hunger
When
is the physical sensation of desiring food.
politicians, relief workers and social
scientists talk about people suffering from hunger,
they usually refer to those who are unable to eat
sufficient food to meet their basic nutritional
needs for a sustained period of time.
4. Caused by disruptions to the food supply caused by war,
plagues or adverse weather changes.
While progress had been uneven, by 2000 the threat of
extreme hunger has subsided for a great many of the
world's people.
Until 2006, the average international price of food had
been largely stable. By 2008 the price of rice had more
than tripled in some regions, especially severe in
developing countries. The 2008 worldwide financial crisis
further increased the number of people suffering from
hunger.
By mid-2012, about one billion people were suffering from
chronic hunger, which is an increase of close to 200
million since the beginning of the century.
According to the United Nation's World Food Programme, a
child dies from hunger every six seconds.
5.
6.
Life was usually unbearable.
People were always hungry. They deliberately tried to
starve residents by allowing them to purchase only a
small amount of bread, potatoes, and fat.
Some residents had some money or valuables they
could trade for food smuggled into their homelands;
others were forced to beg or steal to survive.
During the long winters, heating fuel was scarce, and
many people lacked adequate clothing. People
weakened by hunger and exposure to the cold
became easy victims of disease; tens of thousands
died in the ghettos from illness, starvation, or cold.
Some individuals killed themselves to escape their
hopeless lives.
