How To End World Hunger

(Analysis)

One of eight people will suffer hunger tonight. 98% of the hungry people live in developing countries, in 12 years the world population will increase to 8 billion. In other words, we have a problem, the world has a problem. According to the article, the problem has two sources: number one, women not having enough land, not being taken seriously in the global market and having physical impediment in their farms. And number 2, farms and agricultures that are not well connected or do not belong to the important markets. The solutions are to facilitate these markets to farmers and giving more opportunities to women. To finish, the article mentions a big project from Heifer International: Rural Entrepreneurs for Agricultural Cooperation in Haiti, which consists in a 5-year plan to rebuild rural communities and improve economic opportunities with the objective of helping more than 20,000 vulnerable rural families.

The article talks about big revolution in aspects related to the food supply to the world. We think that it is an awesome plan and intention, but what it says is easier said than done, first problem we detected, this information is published online so we can read it… but are farmers and rural areas reading it to? We think there is a problem on the public the article is publishing it, it does help to inform the general public, but in the end the ones that need to implement changes are the farmers.
