Other causes of world hunger

One other cause that contributes to hunger is nature and the draughts that occur. A draught is a span of time when there is little or no rainfall. In this time, farmers are unable to produce a great amount of crops that it usually does. In some places where these crops are the only source of food, they don’t get any. An example of this is in Ethiopia during the 80′s and 90′s. During that time tens of thousands of ethiopians died  and many others suffered form malnutrition and from disease.

World Population Affecting Global Hunger

In the last 50 years, the world’s population has doubled and it is projected to increase again in the next 50 years. With so many people, the number of resources produced in some areas are not enough to supply everyone there and not enough resources are being sent to aide them. Also, most of the supplies are going to the people who can afford this. As the population grows, and the gap between the upper, middle , and lower class widens, less and less help will be sent to the lower class. 

What is World Hunger???

What exactly is world hunger? It is the people in the world who cannot get the foods and resources they need on a daily basis. Hunger is a very serious issue in the world today and it causes many deaths every year. Throughout the world, 963 million people are hungry. Everyday, almost 16 thousand children are killed from hunger related problems. This is 1 child every 5 seconds. These numbers are incredible and something needs to be done about it.
