Today world food crisis has become foremost Global issue which needs to be solved.Usually the problem of Hunger arises due to two reasons.
- improper Food Supply
- poverty
but today where there is Foreign Exchange is common I think improper Food Supply is impossible ultimately only poverty causes hunger today.It is said that hunger kills more people than AIDS , Malaria and Tuberclosis combined making it the world's number one health risk.According to Food and Agriculture Organisation , FAO the world produces food to everyone with about 2720 kilo calories per person per day.This statement of food and agricultural organisation is also a prove that major problem is poverty causes to suffer the hunger and mostly the chronic hunger.In 2010 , FAO estimate the number of people hungry in the world,the number were 1578 million in Asia and Pacific ,39 million in Sub-Saharan Africa, 53 million in Latin America and Caribbean , 37 million near east and North Africa and 19 million in the developed countries that is 925 million people in the world.Read CNN news about poverty here. It can only be solved if every individual also feel the pain of Hunger for others.
2. Climate Change :
United Nations Framework convention on climate change , UNFCCC defines climate change as a change of climate that is attributed directly or indirectly to human activities that alters the composition of the Global atmosphere and that is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.Global warming is the major cause of this climate change. According to RB Howarth and RB Norgaard - The American economic review 1992 , Global warming has the evolved as a burning issue in late 1980's though it has been started since 1960 from concerned preservative of wild animals in American experience to concern over population of human Habitat throughout the industrialised world. It has been scientifically proved that the major cause of global warming is emission of greenhouse gases by human activities which warms our earth.Read here to know what are greenhouse gases and why they are causing climate change?

"FOLLOWING ILL EFFECTS WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE "
It is said that the world temperature will be raised by 2 degree centigrade in next century and it counts a tremendous change. The number may sound low but as average over the Earth it is actually high.
It will melt world ice sheets causing Ocean Levels to rise by 80 feet.Imagine what destruction it may cause ..Heavy Storms may be caused resulting in loss of life along with trillion million dollars of property.It has been published in research article that global warming has intensified drought in regions like Middle East. It also causes heavy rain Storms and worst coastal flooding and other weather disaster. Governments , associations and research departments have been warning to Limit greenhouse emission since 1980 but they were ignored and the issue Rises up to a level that if everyone does not play its part to control this issue ,we will destroy our next generation.

3. Inequality and injustice :
It means the difference between groups of people. Inequality is a broad term used to refer gender inequality ,economic inequality and racial inequality etc.These injustices actually destroy the world peace and human development.
Gender inequality - unequal chances for men and women has become major hurdle in human development for example ownership of Land by female in many countries like Sudan and Hasotho is prohibited. In Saudi Arabia , female cannot get driving licence and rely on their fathers brothers and husband for travelling .According to UN , 40% of young women in South Asia and sub-saharan Africa are married at the age of 18 leading problems of childbirth. In Afghanistan ,access to female education is restricted and they lack facilities for education.Click here to check how Querlo helps Afghan girls.In China , female babies are being killed because their one child policy and their preference for male.
Racial inequality - believe that certain ethnic groups are superior to others. It has become common almost in every state as for example Throughout the Europe , Arabs and Jews suffer racial attacks. There are four racial groups in America which obviously generate inequalities in wealth ,education and other different opportunities.We should raise awareness that we should not judge people on the basis of Race.
Economic inequality - state’s failure to give its individual adequate food and housing and its maintenance of discrepancies in wealth. It also means the difference in groups of people according to economic aspects. Poor becomes more poorer in most societies where as rich lives luxury life and so his coming generation get more opportunities for education and focus on better jobs. The Organisation of Economic Cooperation and development , OECD says that the gap between the rich and poor is widening and such gap is a threat to economic growth.
