Why is there so many people in the world going hungry when there is enough food to go around for everyone.?

sometimes most people can’t afford food

Simple, the distubutiopn of resources are unbalanced. While we have the food, it’s gathered is clumps in certain countries. Money isn’t spred out so people can’t aford to get the food.

GREED GREED and CAPITALISM and MARKET FORCES

---

The governments in countries with huge poverty problems (even larger than our own), such as in Africa, keep the food for themselves and even when we (the US) try to airlift food to the needy, the government takes it for themselves. greed.it may be enough for some ..but they wanted more and more.

because some are greedy and cant give up sum for others going hungry. how selfish.poor ppl out there.

because it`s not a perfect world

“The world can produce enough food to provide every person with more than 2,700 Calories per day a level which is normally sufficient to ensure that all have access to adequate food..yet more than 800 million people in the developing world suffer from chronic undernutrition. Lack of essential energy and protein stunts the bodies, minds and hopes of some 200 million children.” Although, poverty and hunger are a vicious cycle, access to food is primarily related to a demand-supply mismatch. This in turn have many aspects ranging from food production, nutrition requirements, staple diets, and population – these in turn are dependant on many other variables as diverse as water availability, water management, biological diversity, forest cover, marine capture, livestock management, the food chain, faulty policies, and even the role of women in a household! These factors are vastly different from country to country, region to region. Around 75 percent of the world’s hungry people live in rural areas in poor countries. These regions are home to the vast majority of the nearly 3 million children who die before reaching the age of five, apart from 8 million infants. Hunger, apart from being a social sin, leads to many other problems such as vulnerability to disease and crime, Reduction of hunger to half was the the first Millenium Development Goal of the UN. Economic growth, investment in agriculture, good governance, political stability, internal peace, rule of law, rural infrastructure, agricultural research, better education for children in rural areas and improving the situation of women are all essential for increasing agricultural production and reducing hunger and poverty in rural areas, according to The State of Food Insecurity in the World, a report published by the UN.
