Actions Aimed at Eradicating Hunger

Summary/Abstract: Paradoxically, on our planet where there are resources and therefore food can be produced to feed all people, hunger exists. It is imperative to draw a distinction between hunger and food insecurity. Hunger can be defined as the discomfort or pain caused by the lack of food. Food insecurity, on the other hand, is defined as the lack of regular access to safe and nutritious food, which is necessary for adequate development and an active and healthy life. Hunger represents the most severe form of food insecurity. The causes of hunger are diverse – economic inequalities, climate emergencies, armed violence. The effects of hunger are multiple, affecting health and life prospects. Based on these considerations, the article aims to highlight some statistics on hunger and some of the actions of the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Program to eradicate this serious form of food insecurity.
