Causes of World Hunger 
Poverty
-
-
Whenever people are in poverty, they lack resources to get their basic needs, such as food.
-
-
Millions live with hunger and malnourishment because they simply cannot afford to buy enough food, cannot afford nutritious foods or cannot afford the farming supplies they need to grow enough good food of their own.
Climate Change
-
The World Bank estimates that climate change can cause more than 100 million people fall into poverty over the next decade.
-
Since 2008, nearly 175 million people in developing countries have been displaced by climate-induced disaster and that number continues to grow every year.
-
People are even less able to withstand another disaster and they suffer graver consequences each time a flood or drought strikes which causes them to lose everything and that includes food
Agricultural Practices
Combined with overgrazing, over-cropping, and deforestation means the impact of poor agricultural practices can destroy arable land that is needed to grow nutritious food.

-
-
In low-income countries, they cannot afford reliable farm equipment
War & Conflict
-
-
-
More than three-quarters of the world’s chronically malnourished children live in conflict-affected regions.
Many starve their opponents into submission by seizing or destroying food stocks, livestock, or other assets in rural areas and by cutting off sources of food or livelihood, including destruction of markets in urban and rural areas.
-
Conflicts uproots families, destroys economies, ruins infrastructure and halts agricultural production.
Population Growth
-
The worlds population is expected to reach 8 billion by 2020; more than 93% of this increase will occur in lower-income countries .
-
The highest rates tended to occur in so-called “developing countries” where the income is low. These are largely the same countries where hunger is at its worst.
