How to Feed the World

I found a very good article in Newsweek Magazine by Gordon Brown which was published on May 19, 2008. You may access this article through this link http://www.newsweek.com/id/136360. In this article the opinion of Robert Zoellick, Jeffrey Sachs, Joachim Von Braun, Muhammad Yunus, Josette Sheeran, Jacques Diouf and Michael Pollan are published. These people are all working together to make a difference in countries who find it extremely difficult to develop a stabled government. Their main objective is to fund money and basic resources such as corn, wheat, water and other kinds of material that can strengthen a human. A dollar a day is enough to provide food to one family for food. When food is providing to a civilian you not only prevent them from dying for natural causes you give them the calcium and protein to build a stronger immune system. These people have that basic objective, to prevent the number of casualties per year and decrease the number of families that struggle to survive on a daily schedule. There question to us is, What can you do to help save a family?

West African Villagers Stake Their Fortunes on the Future Price of Rice

I found another great article in The New York Times newspaper by Lidia Polgreen which was published on January 25, 2009. You may access this article through this link http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/26/world/africa/26senegal.html. In this article there is a huge argument about the constant rise of food prices. It explains how economic problems such as these lower the possibility for those who struggle for the chance to buy food at a reasonable price. Products such as rice are basic resources that a human can eat and live off of. When the rise of basic resources such as these happens families are prevented from the opportunity to eat a good dignified meal. One important fact that this article had is, “The price of unprocessed rice in Senegal has steadily fallen from its peak early last year of more than $30 per 110-pound sack.” Without a doubt rice is important to countries who can’t industrialize and become stronger in the economical aspect of world hunger which increases the number of casualties.

The Struggle to End Hunger

In this great article that was available through the Time Magazines which has an unknown Arthur was published on August 12, 1966. You may access this article through this link http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,917.html. Although this article is relatively old the basic problems it summarizes is what we are currently facing in today’s world. Some of the efforts that was made by the US to reduce world hunger was, “One of the greatest peacetime armadas ever assembled—600 ships from 50 donor nations—has borne 1,000,000 tons a month of mostly U.S. grain to drought-tormented India this year.” This quote shows that countries such as the US do try to make a difference in the struggle for survival of an inevitable disaster. Though this is not a natural disaster caused by the world’s nature of reaction it is a problem that is lived day by day and it trying to be stopped through the correct measures. The main way to achieve this is through providing food to those who need it and not waste it.

People Should Not Be Dying Of Hunger In The 21St Century

I found this touching article in Newsweek magazine by Suzanne Rozdeba which was published on June 7, 2002. You may access this article through this link http://www.newsweek.com/id/64124. As I began to read, the first sentence was enough to fully grasp the sympathy within me and want to make a difference in my community. This is the sentence, “On a recent stop at a hospital in Malawi, an African nation hit hardest by famine, Judith Lewis watched mothers carry in young children too weak to stand, having walked 35 miles away or more to get there. The World Food Program's regional director for eastern and southern Africa, Lewis held a 2-year-old girl, stricken with AIDS, who was so malnourished that she fit in the palms of her hands.” That was the main idea of this article the constant struggles families go through in the hunger aspect and health. Do to the fact the hunger and desire for food affects your immune system leaving oneself vulnerable to nasty diseases that cause death such as AIDS. This is the most common disease in Africa. In the article Suzanne argues that children should be taken care of because they are the future of this earth. They should be able to receive education and be provided with shelter and a good amount of nutritional resources such as milk, rice, etc.

Millions Sought for Global Fund to Aid Farms

I found this great article in the New York Times Newspaper by Helene Cooper which was published on April 22, 2010. You may access this article through this link http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/23/world/23aid.html?scp=2&sq=World%20Hunger&st=cse. Now I begin to realize why president Barrack Obama was not the wrong choice. “The Obama administration is proposing to add $408 million to a global fund to boost food production and encourage good farming practices in the developing world, the Treasury Department announced on Thursday.” This was the central focus of this article the providence of the world for a better society. Countries throughout the world such as South Africa, Somalia, and Haiti need these kinds of donations not for the government to benefit, but to help our brothers and sisters feel the unison and compassionate feelings that the world is feeling for them. Helene said that, “If I had one wish, it would be for good governance in all of these countries.” She demonstrates her ambition to wanting to be a significant figure not only for those countries in need, but for other countries who want to help, but don’t find the motive to do so. Helene is an inspiration for this world for a better society. We must unite to make a difference.
