3. What is Hunger Undernourishment is a less visible form of hunger Hunger also weakens the immune system Malnutrition - venerable to diseases Leads to lack of energy by slowing down its physical and mental activities, loses all desire to play and study.

4. Who is hungry Surprisingly, three-quarters of all hungry people live in rural areas, mainly in the villages of Asia and Africa. 146 million children in developing countries are underweight Women are the world's primary food producers thus women are much more affected by hunger and poverty than men

5. What causes hunger Food wastage One third of all food produced (1.3 billion tons) is never consumed. This food wastage represents a missed opportunity to improve global food security in a world where 1 in 8 is hungry. Climate and weather Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and long periods of drought are on the increase -- with negative consequences for the hungry poor in developing countries.

6. What causes hunger Poverty trap People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious food for themselves and their families. This makes them weaker and less able to earn the money that would help them escape poverty and hunger. War and displacement Across the globe, conflicts consistently disrupt farming and food production, forces millions of people to flee their homes

7. Strategic Plan The Plan lays out four objectives: 1. Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies; 2. Support food security and nutrition and build livelihoods in fragile settings and following emergencies 3. Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs 4. Reduce under nutrition and break the intergenerational cycle of hunger with education for the young ones.

8. Hunger Deaths There is enough food for the world (most food wasted) Sadly it is not spread out evenly About 21,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger- related causes This is one person every four seconds It is children who die more often
