Answer 1

Answer:

• Despite this, 1 in 9 people worldwide go without food every day.
• The globe generates enough food to feed all 7.5 billion people.
• As of 2021, Somalia is the world's most hungry nation.
• According to the 2021 Global Hunger Index, 47 nations would fail even to reach Low hunger status by 2030 — an increase of 10 countries compared to 2020’s report \s.
• Ten nations with moderate, serious, or alarming levels of hunger have seen an increase in hunger since 2012, Between their 2012 and 2021 GHI scores, 14 nations saw significant reductions in hunger, with a reduction of at least 25%.
• In 2030, 30 million additional individuals worldwide are anticipated to be undernourished as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explanation:

• Many children are stunted (if not worse) as a result of food poverty and starvation.
• Concern is working to end hunger and malnutrition by 2050 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
• This would represent approximately 3 million lives changed for the better.

Causes in various countries:

Poverty:

• 89.56 million people are living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is consistently ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world.
• The majority of these people make less than $1.25 per day.
• By 2021, more than 37 million Congolese will not be receiving the daily minimum of nutrients they require.

Food Shortage:

• Across places like the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, farming people face periods before harvests known as “hungry seasons.”
• At this time of year, food supplies from the previous harvest are depleted but it will be some time before supplies can be replenished.
• In the time before the next harvest, which could be months away, this forces households to skip one (or more) meals per day.

War and conflict:

• Hunger and conflict are linked in another vicious cycle.
• Mass emigration and abandoned fields are the results of the civil war in South Sudan.
• Crop failure is the end outcome, and paired with skyrocketing inflation rates that make imported food unaffordable, 7.2 million people are now facing a food crisis.

Economy:

• A nation's economic resilience directly influences its nutritional resilience, much like the cycle of poverty and hunger does.
• For instance, Liberia's general economic issues grew worse following the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
• 50% of people are still living in poverty five years after the epidemic ended.
• The additional factors listed above that contribute to world hunger will be impacted by efforts to achieve general economic stability.

Hence, food shortage is the major problem which is identified as a global threat.
