Answer 1

If this is for a school project, I would also look into the reasons why what we do isn&#039;t enough...such as what peoples and countries are actually helping out, what orgs are doing versus what they are spending on self--overhead/administration....some good sites are www.poverty.com, www.freerice.com, www.nothingbutnets.net, and www.charitynavigator.com.

Answer 2

The reasons for a crisis in food supplies are many, and when they culminate, it leads to a &quot;perfect storm&quot; where food becomes scare. Three of the most common reasons that, when they happen simultaneously, cause widespread hunger

-- a change in the security situation (civil war, violent political protests, a coup, etc.)

-- several years of severe weather (drought or flood)

-- corruption, where funds and support for the raising of animals and crops for food are diverted to arms or income-generating activities (like mining) for a minority of people

For instance, Zimbabwe was once a &quot;bread basket&quot; of Africa, and not only fed it&#039;s own people, but exported a great deal of food resources to other countries. But because of years of corruption, political strife, and a land re-distribution program that gave furtile land to friends of the dictator with no experience in farming, many people of Zimbabwe are starving.
