Hunger is an enormous issue in the modern world. According to Worldhunger.org in their article, 2016 World Hunger and Poverty Facts and Statistics, “The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016. Almost all the hungry people, 780 million, live in developing countries, representing 12.9 percent, or one in eight, of the population of developing countries. There are 11 million people undernourished in developed countries (par.6).” The need for food is a basic human right, but yet people still are suffering from starvation. This issue as challenged societies throughout history, and may continue to challenge in the future. But there may be some form of hope. In today’s society, we have access to a variety of technology including that could be helpful for reducing starvation in the world. For example, with the invention of automobiles, planes, and ships, food can now be transported more easily than in past years. Unfor tunately, these technologies have been around for some time now and the problem of starvation is still relevant. I believe that in order for food to become more accessible their needs to be a change in culture. I believe more politicians and world leaders should focus more on world hunger. For example, in the United States Department of Agriculture’s report, The Estimated Amount, Value, and Calories of Postharvest Food Losses at the Retail and Consumer Levels in the United States it states, “In the United States, 31 percent—or 133 billion pounds—of the 430 billion pounds of the available food supply at the retail and consumer levels in 2010 went uneaten (par. 7).” I believe if more money was put into this subject this usually wasted food could be distributed to people in both the U.S. and developing countries, but this can only be done with the support of world leaders, politicians, and the general public.
