World Hunger Essay

World hunger has been huge in the ways that making people conserve their food because of our brother and sister in Africa that doesn’t have enough to eat and drink, so many people make an organization that help people in need off food to end world hunger.

Here some facts about world hunger:

• Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth.
• The vast majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries, where 12.9 percent of the population is undernourished.
• Asia is the continent with the most hungry people - two thirds of the total. The percentage in southern Asia has fallen in recent years but in western Asia it has increased slightly.
• Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence (percentage of population) of hunger. One person in four there is undernourished.
• Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five - 3.1 million children each year.
• One out of six children -- roughly 100 million -- in developing countries is underweight.
•  One in four of the world's children are stunted. In developing countries the proportion can rise to one in three.
•  If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry in the world could be reduced by up to 150 million.
• 66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.
• WFP calculates that US$3.2 billion is needed per year to reach all 66 million hungry school-age children.

So if we want to help beat world hunger issue we must not wasted our food and we must help finding another resource that can substitute or be another way to have a healthy life and to end world hunger.
