Appx. 3 Million Children Die Hungry Every Year!
It’s a matter of great concern that children – in the millions have died due to hunger in the past years despite the presence of responsible people, societies and governments. Something needs to be done and everyone can contribute to stop the next 3 million children from dying malnourished. The 3 million figure has come from the Unicef as reported here.
What’s being done about it and what can we do about it?
A lot can be done if authorities rise to the occasion. If criminal wastage of food can be stopped, the global agricultural production of food is enough to feed everyone. This is a macro overview of the food waste and hunger situation from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, USDA, Empire State Realty Trust:
Let’s get together and pledge to stop food waste
And as tweeted by WFP, there’s more to wasting food than meets the eye:
