According to the United Nations' stats, if current trends continue, about 582 million people will be chronically undernourished in 2030, half of them in Africa.
One of the factors that lead to world hunger is
war/ conflict between richer nations.
Another is Gender discrimination, which is often a cause of persistent hunger. Sixty percent of the world’s hungry people are women and girls. Empowerment of women and girls is essential in ending hunger, extreme poverty, and malnutrition around the world.
Support peaceful campaigns for Cessation
of world hunger/ poverty.
-----------------
Can't empty bowls be filled with rice
each day?
Whatever ever age, gender, color, or
creed
That mankind’s dire hunger be swept
away,
Not by crumbs when wheatfields are
lush, indeed.
The world yields enough crops through
sun or rain
And river beds swim with fish of
seasons;
Providing decent meals from nourished grain.
Then why this famish for selfish
reasons?
Man grows hungry ....yet, this is my
prayer:
That food NOT be used as greed for
money,
But life's blessing, God’s gift equal and
fair,
And nail this curse," wipe off trade’s
gluttony!"
