World Hunger

According to the Oxford Dictionary, hunger is defined as "the exhausted condition caused by the need of food". World hunger is a problem that is growing more and more every day and the power to stop it is in our hands. Recently in class we have been receiving about this problem that affects the world and everyone around us. In my opinion, more should be donde in order to stop world hunger. It is imposible for me to picture myself in a state of hunger. Imagine waking up every day with no breakfast to cure your morning cravings. This might sound harsh to us but discussing according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization about "795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world are suffering from chronic undernourishment". This means that 1 out of every 9 humans is exposed to extreme hunger. The main cause of this problem is not that the world can't produce enough food to feed everyone, but that these 795 million people can't produce enough money in order to feed themselves. World hunger is directly related to poverty. Underdeveloped countries like some in Africa or Haiti in Latin America are the ones that have higher hunger rates. 780 million people of the total 795 million people suffering from chronic undernourishment or hunger, live in underdeveloped countries. Solutions to this problem would first of all increase the amount of help that these people are unfortunately. Different organizations like UNICEF or World Food Program are already trying decrease world hunger, but more help could always be better. Another solution would be to increase the number of jobs in the world so that these people who cant afford to feed themselves can increase their income until it is enough for them to live healthy lives. It breaks my heart to see the world suffering like this and I hope that someday we can make hunger a thing of the past.
