Causes of World Hunger
Poverty
-
People who live in poverty may sell things they have such as livestock to earn some form of income→ this is short term relief
-
-
Most people who are hungry live in extreme poverty. Extreme Poverty = income of $1.90 per day or less
Those living in poverty do not have the financials to own land and therefore cannot grow enough food
Food Shortages & Waste
Food spoilage causes hunger as well in countries that farm and do not have proper/enough storage to protect their harvests from poor weather conditions and/or pests
-
Farming families experience “hungry seasons” which come from the periods before harvesting→ skipping meals
-
-
Climate Change
-
-
The world bank estimates that climate change has the power to push more than 100 million people into poverty over the next decade
Although the poorest countries do not contributed much cause to climate change, the definitely experience the effects of it
Access to Food
-
Irrigation infrastructure for those living in poverty is unaffordable for most farmers so lack of water and sanitation lead to hunger and poor nutrition
Poor Infrastructure and low investment in agriculture prevent the poor population of the world access to food and water
Women who live in developing countries fetch water for hours each day due to the lack of infrastructure
-
Poor Nutrition
-
-
1 in 4 children have been affected from forms of malnutrition and will suffer from life long effects
Families living in poverty rely on staple foods, usually one or two. Staple foods include foods like corn or wheat
