Where there is hunger in the world today? What are some of the causes of world hunger? Citizens of developed countries donate monetarily to the ongoing relief operations? In this article I would like to answer these questions with the hope that by creating an understanding of the current situation of world hunger, morally conscious individuals will do their part in contributing to the eradication of these invisible suffering.
And ' a well-known fact that there is enough food to feed the world every human being on Earth. Unfortunately, malnutrition and hunger afflicts one out of seven people in the world today. Or, from a slightly different perspective, the current world population was 4,712 .2 million. The number of malnourished is 797,900,000. Then the 17% of the world population is currently malnourished or hungry. No matter how you look at the problem, the current crisis is at hand. Why is it so?
The causes of hunger are complex, but there are some common threads that seem to be associated with this problem. Firstly, hunger is caused by poverty. To address the problem of hunger in the world, then the problem of global poverty must be addressed. Therefore, the question that we must consider is what are the causes of poverty. An in-depth discussion on the causes of global poverty is not the work of this article. All the text books have been written on the ' topic. For our discussion, suffice it to say that one of the main causes of poverty are Governments pursuing policies that inhibit the ' self-sufficiency. then the problem of global poverty must be addressed.

Areas of hunger are also characterized by persistent problems in the cultivation of food for the lack of seed, arable land, and tools. Those that can produce food, must deal with insects, droughts, floods, and the war, which might cause the complete destruction of crops. Historically, areas d ' Africa have experienced periodic locust infestations, which can completely destroy crops.
Other causes of hunger in the world are linked to the globalization of food production. The globalization of food production and trade favors a dependence on exports, while cultures discriminate against small farmers and subsistence crops. Many third world countries exporting food much while not concurrently hold enough food to support their own people.
L ' AIDS is a significant cause of hunger. In societies affected by AIDS, hunger is more deadly and difficult to combat. Why is it so? AIDS attacks the most productive all ' individuals in society. Less productive people in society means less people working jobs that involve food production. This is a collaborator of fame currently underway in Africa.
Time plays an important role in terms of prevalence of hunger. The areas of drought leads to unusable land resulting in famine. This is well known. But less known is that floods can also lead to starvation. Crops can be flooded and destroyed, which, in essence, produces the same result of drought. In both cases, the time can produce a complete lack of self-sufficiency. She causes of hunger in the world are linked to the globalization of food production.

Military conflicts, both internal and between neighbouring countries, can lead to starvation. These conflicts may lead to the destruction of crops. public money is directed to finance the conflict at the expense of starving people. The funds are deducted to social and economic development. Military conflicts can also lead to the displacement of large groups of people from their farms and their way of life. People can end up in refugee camps, completely dependent on relief aid.
Causal factors of hunger in the world are numerous, and some factors change from year to year, so at any given time, some areas may be more exposed than others. L ' magnitude of droughts, floods, internal conflicts, and war with the neighbouring countries may vary over time. Therefore, these factors include a variable affects the extent to which the inhabitants of sensitive countries suffering from hunger.
A combination of these causal factors in a particular region is a formula for disaster. When this happens, the large-scale starvation can occur. A case in point. Horn d ' Africa has seen severe drought coupled with internal conflicts. This is leading to the development of a tragedy. In this region currently 11 million people on the verge of fame '.
Historically, some areas of the world have had a marked prevalence of hunger and starvation. These areas are the central region of South America, large areas of East, Central and South Africa, and in the regions of South Asia '. Since 2006, hot spots, areas that suffer from the highest degree of fame, are the following:
Niger:
This area in Central Africa is struggling to cope with the devastating effects of drought and locust infestations. Crops can be flooded and destroyed, which, in essence, produces the same result of drought. In both cases, the time can produce a complete lack of self-sufficiency.

Niger:
This area in Central Africa is struggling to cope with the devastating effects of drought and locust infestations.
Haiti:
In this region, extreme poverty has been aggravated by a political crisis, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes.
Horn d ': Africa
It is estimated that about 11 million people in the Horn of Africa ' d " are on the verge of fame ' " due to severe drought and war. Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti and Ethiopia need food aid, water, livestock and new seeds. This is a crisis of hunger in the development.
Afghanistan:
Poverty in Afghanistan, compounded by drought, has contributed greatly to their problem of hunger.
Pakistan:
The recent earthquake accompanied by a harsh winter conditions have produced fame. Recently, mudslides have hampered relief efforts.
North Korea:
The ' food insecurity caused by economic problems, is aggravated by severe and unpredictable weather conditions. Today, the North Korean Government has infringed the duty to provide for its people starve. The North Korean Government has actually refused foreign aid.
Columbia:
At 40 years of civil conflict and the illegal drug trade have caused massive displacement and poverty.
Democratic Republic of the Congo:
3.4 million people have been displaced because of an ongoing internal conflict.
Mali:
They are struggling to cope with the devastating consequences of a recent drought.
Southern Africa:
erratic weather, lack of seeds and fertilizers, chronic poverty, and AIDS ' were factors that contribute to hunger.
These are the areas of the world that currently suffer from the highest levels of malnutrition and hunger. With this understanding of where rescue operations are needed, we must tackle the problem of individual response. Developed countries are individuals donate to relief efforts? Most morally conscious individuals donate to relief efforts when the problem occurred to them.
