Many of you are
certainly familiar with hunger, yes a very big disaster caused by
lack of food in an area. The effect is widespread, and the damage
caused by hunger can take months, even years. Often starvation is
also caused by other natural disasters, such as earthquakes or
tsunamis that destroy the entire region, and cause mass exodus.
Deaths due to hunger and malnutrition are very painful, and often
occur in infants and the elderly.
Now in every continent in the world from the continent of Asia to
the continent of Africa most of its people are experiencing a very
severe hunger. The famine is due to the economic crisis that is
currently encroaching on the world. According to the UN Food Agency
estimates the world population of hunger this year reached 963
million people, or an increase of about 40 million people compared to
last year. Asia pacific has a starving population of up to 642
million people in the sub-region of Africa as many as 265 million
inhabitants.But today there are many who try to fight the world hunger, ranging from government to non-government organizations, even you can participate in the fight against the effects of hunger that almost control the entire continent in the world.
But if you do not know where to start, you can start by trying not to leave food, so it sounds trivial but imagine if done continuously, the impact is very extraordinary, then can try to help buy the crops of the farmers, because with buying our own farmers' crops, we indirectly help advance the state's reconstruction, so that the country escapes the expense of imports for food that can lead to economic downturn and impact on famine.
Furthermore you can share food with neighbors, unconsciously sometimes in our environment there must be people who are struggling from hunger, you can share food with them so that the circle of famine can be prevented as early as possible.
