Its possible to end the world hunger, we can do these things like
1. Improving agriculture to boost incomes
The extreme poor often rely on farming for their livelihoods.
However, many smallholder farmers live far from markets where they can
make a profit selling their crops. They face challenges like lack of
access to credit, resources, and skills needed to improve their harvest.
To ensure farmers are connected to economic opportunities through
agriculture, we work with our partners — from the private sector to
universities and civil society organizations — to help smallholders get
the support, know-how, and access they need to be successful.
For example, in
Kenya,
smallholder farmers who previously couldn’t compete with larger growers
have boosted their crop production, minimized post-harvest losses, and
connected to markets with skills gained from USAID. Some are even
selling their surplus crops to the UN World Food Program to help feed
other communities in drought-prone areas.
Through Feed the Future, in particular, we’re helping developing countries build
stronger food systems
that provide opportunities for rural communities — from farms to
markets to tables — by investing in agriculture and bringing partners
together.
2. Food Donations
Although ideally it would be better to get the entire world to a place
of self-sustainability, it is not something that will happen overnight.
In the meantime it is important to lend a helping hand. The impact of
donations, both cash and food, have had an immense impact on world
hunger. Organizations such as Food for All have customers donate $1-5
when checking out. Last year they raised a whopping $60 million to fight
world hunger.
3.Birth Control Education
High birthrates pose a problem when trying to solve hunger.
Many people are not educated on reproduction or do not have access to
contraceptives. Gaining access to contraceptives allows for family
planning and economic freedom.
