The Causes of Global Hunger 
Poverty
This is true in rich and poor countries alike. It is true no matter whether people live in urban or rural areas
-
-
The largest group of people in the world in extreme poverty are smallholder farmers in developing countries
-
-
-
Malnutrition
-
It is estimated that only 10% of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition receive treatment
-
Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) is a major public health concern, hitting pregnant women and young children the hardest
Without access/financial ability to nutrients found in meats, fish, milk, eggs, and butter, people are missing out on crucial nutrients required to live
-
-
Poor Infrastructure
Road Infrastructure in some countries is so poor it is impossible to provide every region with necessary resources
Without the development in agriculture and food processing, areas have no route to buy, sell or trade goods
Once agriculture and food businesses begin to thrive, additional incomes are generated
-
Rural populations often depend almost entirely on emergency food aid, with little emphasis on rebuilding infrastructure
-
-
-
Food Shortages and Waste
-
The total amount of food wasted across the world is enough to feed the 815 million hungry people four times over
The people most affected are smallholder farmers and their families who depend on their own surplus to survive between harvests
The total amount of food wasted across the world is enough to feed the 815 million hungry people four times over
-
1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted globally each year, one third of all food produced for human consumption
Food shortages occur when farmers struggle with agricultural turnout (due to climate, insect infestation and drought)
-
Unstable Markets
-
In 2019, prices of these grains spiked and hunger surged for a short time by an additional 50 to 100 million people
-
-
-
Basic grains such as wheat, rice, and corn make up the largest share of calories among people in developing countries who are hungry
