Break the Cycle of Conflict and Hunger 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2737824533
Conflict and hunger create a vicious cycle. When war erupts, instability forces people to find illicit and sometimes violent means of acquiring their necessities. In this unstable period where access to food is fought over, the risk of social unrest heightens.]]> 2023-10-09 08:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2737824533 2. Increase Sustainability and Build Resilience to Climate Change 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2737827805 The U.N. World Food Programme helps communities build resilience to climate change through long-term solutions including:
  • Reforestation and land rehabilitation projects
  • Climate insurance for small-scale farmers
  • Providing local institutions with access to sustainable energy solutions
To tackle the challenges of climate change, food availability and food access, we must also help farmers grow a more diverse range of crops and livestock. That’s why the U.N. World Food Programme teaches farmers new techniques, equips them with tools and educates their communities about the nutritional importance of eating a wide range of foods.

Women get lesser or no food for their subsistence. Studies have shown how proper food supplies to women help in the overall health of the family. Yet, women get a raw deal of food even as they are the ones who work in the fields the most. The best way to feed the hungry is to give women their fair share of food.]]> 2023-10-12 01:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2742716460 AIDS 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2742716829 Mostly prevalent in Southern Africa, about six million people are suffering from AIDS.

Across Africa, countries do not have the physical infrastructure needed to get food to the hands of the poor. Roads and railways aren’t of the best quality here. Food distributed by governments, too, does not reach the poor due to corruption and red tape.]]> 2023-10-12 01:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2742719141 Unfair trading structures 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2742725012 Developed countries subsidize food production in their respective countries. These food products are exported to poor African countries, where cheap food in urban areas is no match for locally grown food.

Address Poverty & Inequality Through Social Safety Nets 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2743537354 The U.N. World Food Programme helps governments strengthen national safety nets that safeguard their citizens from poverty, inequality and hunger. By 2030, the U.N. World Food Programme aims to substantially increase people’s access to their national social protection systems – thereby promoting equitable economic growth.

Reduce Food Waste & Food Loss 11108318 https://padlet.com/11108318/dbzwypamf7kbb19k/wish/2743576251 The U.N. World Food Programme is working to eliminate food loss and waste by:
  • Providing farmers with modern storage equipment like silos and air-tight bags
  • Offering long-lasting foods like flour, dried beans and salt – all properly packaged in sturdy containers
  • Investing in innovations like hydroponics that allow communities to grow, sell and store food in the harshest conditions
  • Selling and storing food in impossible places due to exposure of extreme temperatures, excess dust and general pollution
  • Advocating for policy that distributes American-grown crops to people in need – like the U.S. Farm Bill which supplies the U.N. World Food Programme with U.S. agricultural commodities like rice, corn, wheat and soybeans for people abroad

World Food Programme ensures millions of children and pregnant and nursing women have access to specialized nutritious food. Last year, the U.N.

Since 2015, there has been an alarming increase in global hunger and food insecurity, exacerbated by pandemics, conflict, climate change and deepening inequality.
The world is back to hunger levels not seen since 2005, and food prices still higher in more countries than the period of 2015~2019. As conflict, climate shocks and rising costs of living, citizen insecurity and declining food production have all led to food shortages and high food prices.
There are some solutions that we can do to decrease the number of hungry people. For example, cut the food waste, reducing waste in your household is simple: freeze anything you can’t eat while it’s fresh.
Eat what’s in season, as well as supporting your local economy, you might get to know local producers and get tips on how to prepare seasonal foods.
    To create a world free of hunger, we can make changes in our own life—at home, at work and in the community—by supporting local farmers or markets and making sustainable food choices, supporting good nutrition for all, and fighting food waste.
We can also use our power as a consumer and voter, demanding businesses and governments make the choices and changes that will make Zero Hunger a reality.
