Starving communties

1. Food waste http://www.wfp.org/hunger/causes

1.1. Food waste

1.2. 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted http://www.unep.org/wed/2013/quickfacts/

1.3. United Kingdom households waste an estimated 6.7 million tonnes of food every year, around one third of the 21.7 million tonnes purchased.

1.4. The amount of food lost or wasted every year is equivalent to more than half of the world's annual cereals crop (2.3 billion tonnes in 2009/2010)

1.5. To help prevent food waste, we should not make as much food? Or we could just eat it all instead of throwing it away to where no one can eat it. We're throwing it away instead of sharing with people who really need it.

2. War and displacement http://www.wfp.org/hunger/causes

2.1. War and displacement

2.2. In war, food sometimes becomes a weapon. Soldiers will starve opponents into submission by seizing or destroying food and livestock and systematically wrecking local markets

2.3. Fighting also forces millions of people to flee their homes, leading to hunger emergencies as the displaced find themselves without the means to feed themselves

2.4. Fields are often mined and water wells contaminated, forcing farmers to abandon their land.

2.4.1. Included

2.4.2. Excluded

2.5. This issue of this problem is, war is making us or them move from their homes to be stranded and have no food take with them.

3. Climate and weather http://www.wfp.org/hunger/causes

3.1. In 2011, recurrent drought caused crop failures and heavy livestock losses in parts of Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.

3.2. Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and long periods of drought are on the increase -- with calamitous consequences for the hungry poor in developing countries.

3.3. The issue of this problem, is when rain hits the farms really hard we lose our crops. To fix this problem we could buy a cover from them? Or maybe get something like a greenhouse.

4. Unstable markets http://www.wfp.org/hunger/causes

4.1. Roller-coaster food prices make it difficult for the poorest people to access nutritious food consistently

4.2. Price spikes may temporarily put food out of reach, which can have lasting consequences for small children.

4.3. To help the markets, they should lower the prices and make it to where the food is not as expensive.
