Issues

Introduction

The reason I decided to do my project on starvation is because it's starting to become a main issue and I think we should help the people who are starving.

By reading the newspapers, magazines and informative stuff I found out that about 13% of the people are starving in Canada and 45% of them are kids.Actually the main reason I did this project was to find out if people in Canada are starving too when I found the result out that it was 45%, I was very surprised.

But it's not that the food is less in this world it's that the people buy the food too much at a time and the poor people are just left out .

It's importance is that food is one of the necessities of life and if there's no food, there's no life. I mean you have to get food to survive so I hope other people feel how it is to survive with out food and surviving without food is impossible, if this is how the world is going to work that rich and average people are going to get the food and not the poor people the population will be less by day and day.

The important thing about my project is that people in Canada are still getting help but other countries like Somalia, Iraq, India and Pakistan are not rich countries and people are dying fast because the government is not very rich either. So I hope everyone will help and try their best so this world can be a better place,because the people who are starving to death in other countries are making the population less, so I hope this world will be a better place!! so...

Ideas

MORE FOOD DRIVES

MORE JOBS

EDUCATE CHILDREN AT YOUNG AGE FOR NOT WASTING FOOD... INSTEAD DONATING IT TO FOOD BANK

MORE POLITICIANS HELPING IN FOOD MATTERS

GROW MORE FARMS (MORE JOBS)

MORE TALK SHOWS ABOUT DONATING FOOD

HELP PEOPLE PERSONALLY BY GIVING THEM FOOD AND MONEY

DONATE YOUR MONEY INSTEAD OF WASTING ON MAKEUP AND STUFF

The solutions that are already working are food drives donating money more people helping in food matters.

MY OWN IDEAS!!
My own idea would be that we should do bakesale and stuff raise some money however we can and add the money with the government's money so that we can grow food on farms. By growing food on the farms people will get jobs too because we need farmers to work in the farm and pay the farmers and 80% of the food should go to poor people and food banks and stuff. And for increasing the awareness I would suggest the government should sponsor t.v shows.You can do something in your community like do a talk show and do a raffle that who ever came to the talk show will win a prize at the end and the prize should be at least for 3 people. That way you can increase the awareness of the public. So these solutions are working because U.N is helping and people are individually helping too.

Introduction

My topic is about starvation

I chose this topic because it effect us in some regions people are well fed. While others go hungry till death ! And I like to learn more about them so I can help them and and make more fund raising . And collect money for them . I feel sorry for them because it's unfair for them and us, for them because people are hungry till death and the medical care it's not that much and schools are not available for all kids. And here we have food to eat and we learn at school and have enough medical care.

People are dying.

I think my topic is important because it is increasing all over the world , nobody cares about it ,no body feels what the poor people do every day, they don't any help . It's time to wake up and try to help each other . People are dying day after day because they don't have something to eat and to feed their kids,look at their body it's health like ours. We can help them by sending food or money to live.

Research

Their are many reasons for starvation including rapid population: growth,war, a lack of rain fall, and world pattern's of agriculture. Food is a basic need about people go hungry every year,and many other's eat poorly there are problems in the world with both the quantity and the quality of food.

In some countries like Ethiopia and Mozambique, a lake of rain and an ongoing war reduce food supplies.but in other countries like Canada unbalanced meals "Junk food" are often responsible for poor health.

Quantity of food is a more serious problem in our world than quality of food. While in Canada there are some people without enough to eat in Africa and parts of Asia, south America and central huge population are, inadequately fed. In many African nations people average only about 8000 Kilojoules of food energy a day or 80% of there daily food needs by contrast average Canadians consume 125% of their daily food needs every day. The majority of the worlds hungry nations are found in Africa. The African continents also has the highest population growth rate. Since this pattern holds true for other hungry continents.

UNITED NATIONS

United Nations helps people to provide basic needs. Such as food, shelter ,and clothes as well as peace and security.

The United Nations helps people all over the world like homeless people that they provide them shelter and food and other countries need help, so the U.N. helps them to solve their problem . Geographers often compare the wealth countries using G.N.P. "gross National product" of this statistic shows the value of every thing made in a country it also includes the people harvest things. The U.N. helps and gives hungry people some food like: fish ,crops forest and minerals and it also includes the paid services people provide such as teaching and some medical care. And also the food banks helps the starving people by sending them food so they can live.

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

A basic need of all human being is food. It is important to have a balanced diet that includes all of vitamins, carbohydrates, and proteins needed by your body. Food helps to fight off serious disease s, and it may increase the risk of brain damege or stunted growth in children. In areas where food is in short supply, malnutrition or famine may occurs. In the early 1980s many millions of Africans were suffering from famine and serious malnutritions. The world does produce enough food to feed everyone yet there is malnutritions and starvation in many areas. This is one of biggest world problems: How to get food to everyone.

Response

Like we know people are starving till death. and the reasons are conflicts, war, growth, a lake of rain, fall and many things. If people can help stop conflicts and wars the starvation is going to be less. and if there the people share together and build a dam so it can collect the water and the water from the lake of the rain and the falls and to plant some of farms to feed the hungry people till the U.N. people come and help them.

Many world organization are concerned about hunger each year, World Food Day reminds us that it is possible for the earth to feed all of it's people the supporter, of world food day has developed projects to help farmers in the hungry countries to increase the amount of food they can produce. There food growing projects are based on the following ideas.

Farmers need good lands, loan and training to help them grow

Farmers, need to receive a fair price for the food they grow , to encourage them to grow more food than to provide donation of food to the hungry people to provide a hand rather than handout .

and other people that couldn't plant food, we have to care about them and help them because the food banks couldn't help them alone, so we have to be one hand and help each other.

The United Nations need some help, also from the people because they can't help these million of people by themselves like they show people how people die, at the T.V and at the newspaper and there is a day that they all collect money to buy food, give medical care and to pay teachers

Today, about 669,000 Canadian are forced to turn to food banks every month to help feed their families, according to Toronto's daily bread food banks. that's more than double the number in 1989 when Ottawa vowed to end child poverty by the year 2000. In greater Toronto, one third of children using food banks executive director Sue Cox said in an interview: Malnutrition is a complex issues in the developing world the report notes.

The U.N. children's fund urges richer nations to fund vitamin programs for poor countries.

There are these solutions from the food banks,the United Nations, by helping the hungry people around the world like sending food, money, crops, Medical care and some books to learn them something from the life. These solutions are working but not saving all hungry people around the world because there are so many of them.

But why not help the U.N. people or giving more food for the food banks and some families that are rich enough money to edoubt a kid that would save a family, we could show more people how hungry people live by T.V. and radios so it takes their attention. Please if you could help them do so.

Thanks!
