The overall trend in hunger reduction in developing countries means that the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving the proportion of undernourished people by 2015 is within reach, "if appropriate and…

To what extent can we rely on sense perception and memory as ways of knowing? My short-term memory has never been something to be praised, I was asked what I had for lunch three days ago, I sat there momentarily thinking about the lunches that I had over the previous days, after a little while I told the person that asked me that I could not answer. I have always had greater confidence in my long-term memory, I generally find it to be more accurate and easier to recall than more recent memories…

Other times, financial issues do not play a role in hunger; war plays a role as well. For example, war tactics, such as starving their opponents into defeat by burning crops, kindle hunger because they involve destroying food supplies ("World Food Programme"). Having lower or no crop yields bring, again, hunger to numerous individuals. Unlike war, simple actions, such as food wastage, can add to hunger as well. People waste a great amount of food, and not only do they waste…

While genetically modified organisms have been around since the 90 's, they are still a highly debated topic all the way into 2016. The use of many GMOs create a hot bed of debate, but the pros of GMOs far outweigh the cons.

What if I told you that the issue of food could be easily solved…

detrimental to agriculture and food supplies. It’s also something humans can’t control. We can control the efforts and programs we put forth in easing the traumatic effects of natural disasters which leads to hunger. For example, “half of World Food Programme (WFP) emergency and recovery operations responded to, and helped people recover from, climate-related disasters, with a budget of US$23 billion. WFP responded to climate disasters in 20 countries more than 5 times” (wfp.org/hunger101).…

Druid Hills is a Title one school with at least 40% of students on free and reduced lunch. Because of this, there is a great disparity within the school, with several students living in million dollar homes, while a marked amount relies on food stamps. In spite of this, there is a chance for all students- the International Baccalaureate Program. Each year, the program has around 35 members, a microcosm within the sea of 2,000 who overall attend Druid Hills. Within this focused, dedicated group,…

The World Food Programme indicates that school meals will assist children in becoming healthy and productive adults. If children received some food at school, the long term effects of hunger would be lowered. By increasing a hungry child’s nutritional intake, it allows for…

An Hankering for Food Everyday nearly 795 million people go hungry, that is about one in nine people worldwide. Even though enough food is produced across the world to feed the estimated 7.4 billion population, people are still going to bed hungry. As the population of Earth reaches approximately 9 billion people by 2050 the question of feeding 9 billion arises. If 795 million people go malnourished everyday feeding 9 billion will be a tough task. One solution is Increased research into…
