Value of Food and Hunger
People all throughout the world are impacted by issues related to food and hunger. For our survival and wellness, we must have access to enough food. Lack of food has the potential to make us ill and weak. In reality, according to a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 811 million people worldwide suffered from persistent hunger in 2020. This indicates that they lacked enough food to consume frequently. Lack of nourishment can also result in other issues including stunted growth and an increased risk of illness. Lack of food can even cause societal issues and disputes, according to The Poverty Project, an organization that strives to abolish poverty. So, making sure that everyone has enough food is not only important for our own well-being but also for keeping our communities and the world stable and peaceful.
