The World Hunger Day was set up to commemorate the creation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on October 16, 1945. June 15 is the opportunity to discover and learn about the issues surrounding food insecurity and malnutrition around the world. This day allows us to draw attention to problems of hunger and especially the fight to stop hunger in the world. To help eradicate world hunger, we must focus on farmers to give them the keys to sustainable agriculture, as well as young mothers and the creation of an environmentally friendly agriculture.

"Today, 870 million people around the world are chronically undernourished, and every day 10,000 women and children under five die from malnutrition."

Hunger and their factors

Undernourishment can be caused by many causes. According to the FAO, undernutrition is the state, lasting at least a year, during which a person fails to procure enough food to meet the daily dietary energy requirements.

Unexplained price volatility and misinformation on food prices

Wars

Political instability

Climate disruption

Migration

According to the UN for food and agriculture, in 2016, 815 million human beings were concerned. In 2016, the curve reversed with 38 million more people suffering from hunger than in 2015. 11% of the world's population is now affected by this scourge.

According to Clara Jarmart of Oxfam France, international leaders and institutions are facing a shameful failure. She says that this reversal of the trend is unfortunately likely to be confirmed in the next few years, when, according to some analyzes, the number of people at risk of suffering from hunger will increase by 10% to 20% by 2050 due to the climate change.
