Blog post 6: Solving World Hunger

Everyone thinks that the only way to stop world hunger is for the government to buy food. Lots and lots of food. For me that is the one and only reason to solve hunger. I  also thought of the population is one thing that causes poverty or hunger but I was wrong when I've done my research

The article that I read from the website "Global Issues" written by Anup Shah stated that:

"The current Summit [World Food Summit: Fives Years Later] was called by the United Nations to examine why hunger persists despite the 1996 Plan of Action. Progress lagged by at least 60% behind the goals for the first five years, and today conditions are worsening in much of the world."


Meaning from past years that they tried to Solve world hunger no progress was made. Things only got worse as years go by. They also examined hunger on 1996. It also stated there that:

"Without a drastic reorientation of policies, it will be impossible to meet the 2015 goal, and hunger may actually increase."

Government then until now still don't have any clue or idea on how to solve world hunger and to make things worse hunger will increase.

"While official documents prepared for the meeting decry a “lack of will” and call for “more resources” to be directed at reducing hunger, the fact is that more fundamental changes are needed."

Indeed changes are needed for us to solve poverty. You cannot solve hunger by just adding more resources alone, there has to be an improvement in the government also. Solving world hunger is one serious problem to deal with but with right and equal decisions are given to people by the government i think we can work this out.
