What causes world hunger � The world produces enough to feed the entire global population of 7 billion people. One person in eight on the planet goes to bed hungry each night. In some countries, one child in three is underweight. Why does hunger exist? � There are many reasons for the presence of hunger in the world and they are often interconnected. Here are six that we think are important

WHEN DID WORLD HUNGER START ? There is no specific date for when the global food crisis started, although historians recognize the genesis of "food regimes" dating back to the 16 th century, particularly during the colonial era. During this time, a mercantile food system was created, whereby basic agricultural products, such as grains, milk and meat, were produced in Europe while the colonies were forced through restrictive tariffs to produce special goods for the mother countries

ENVIROMENT Problem Cooking over open fires is one of the world's biggest - but least known - killers. Two million people die each year from breathing in toxic cooking smoke

HEATH � Problem � Every minute, three children die in the developing world because they do not have access to basic medicines - treatments that cost less than a cup of coffee

HUNGER � Problem � 80% of the poor in Sub-Saharan Africa work as rural farmers. Each night, 75% of their children go hungry because they struggle to grow enough to feed their families. � Opportunity � 12 -15 million farmers in Africa would benefit from irrigation. One irrigation pump can lift a farmer and his family out of poverty and into the middle class in only one harvest. On average, each farmer grows enough to sell produce to 77 community members, and earns enough to send one child to school for the first time.

WATER � Problem � Over one-third of all wells drilled in the last twenty years are now broken - 50, 000 are currently broken in Africa alone. � Opportunity � Training local well mechanics to fix and maintain wells is the most sustainable way to ensure wells are always working so people have access to clean water. Mechanics earn income from the communities.
