World World hunger is a worldwide issue however, the world **does produce enough food to feed everyone**. World agriculture produces 17% more calories per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70 % population increase.This is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 //kcal// a day. The initial problem to world hunger is that many people do not have sufficient land to grow, or have an income to purchase, enough food. The food scarcity part of the argument in the population debate is an interesting one� **people are hungry because they cannot afford food**, not because the population is growing so fast that food is becoming scarce.Oftentimes, people make the argument that population increases the lack of food or ability to provide enough food to sustain such growth. However, for many decades food production has more than kept up with population growth. As Greenpeace has noted, **most hungry people live in countries that have a high food surplus.**

** ﻿ **** FACTS ABOUTWORLD HUNGER **:

 * For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years
 * Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world spends on its military in two days!
 * The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've entered this site at least 200 people have died of starvation. Over 4 million will die this year.
 * One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5. United Nations Food and Agriculture

- Food aid is any invention created to adress hunger and undernutrition.Food aid constituted over 20% of global aid flows in the 1960s, but is now less than 5%. Yet, it is still important because of the prevalence of world hunger and the increase in food emergencies in the past decade.

- The United States is by far the biggest donor, supplying more than half of global food aid. In 2004, 99 percent of it was tied, not cash. The European Union, its member countries, Australia, Canada and Japan are also major food donors. New donors like India, China and South Korea have just started donating their surplus food.
