FEED THE HUNGRY
FEED THE HUNGRY
People in our world are suffering. As a child I experienced poverty but rarely hunger. More than 821 million people around the world are counted as suffering from chronic hunger (about 1 in 9) based on 2016-18 numbers. The actual number is largest in Asia, while Africa has the highest concentration of hunger per capita.
While tragically high and expected to drastically increase in 2020 due the Covid-19 pandemic, this is actually a conservative estimate based on strict criteria that assumes a “sedentary” lifestyle with prolonged caloric deficiency lasting more than a year.
