World Hunger

The unfair situation of food.

It is not a surprising fact that our world is facing the most terrible crisis in the history of human kind; Global hunger. According to the figures, 850 millionpeople across the world are famished. To illustrate this, the World Bank estimates that in developing countries such as India, south and central Asia, one child die every five second due to lack of food.Even in America, almost 30 million people suffer from poor nutrition and calorie deficiencies, causing one person in three to die at a very premature age. Subsequently, what immediately cross our mindis: What are the variables that affect food production, distribution and consumption? In the search for answer to world hunger, we can state two principle agents that determine who gets the food.One of the main agents that cause food disparity in the world is the geographical and weather condition factor. Geography, indeed, plays a big role in food distribution as it deals worse cards to somesocieties than to others. That is to say, some lucky societies have the privilege to enjoy robust lands, suitable for farming, while some others have the misfortune to occupy dry, cold and fragileenvironments that makes difficult and sometimes impossible to produce their own food. For example, in the High Plains of the Andes Mountains of Bolivia, the Aymaras native indigenous live in extremeweather conditions; a harsh and semi- desert region, in which agriculture becomes a challenge, almost impossible to achieve. For that reason, natives `diet is quite restrictive as they only farm fewvariety of food in which potatoes and maze constitute their main staple diet. There are also extreme cases of societies that are affected by geography, such as tribes in South Africa which suffer fromfamine because their dry environment don’t permit them to get access to water, neither for consumption nor for irrigation of crops. what`s more, climate change is another important factor that...
