Hunger is a problem whose effects are magnifying and its dangers are magnified despite the increase in global welfare year after year.. Why does hunger continue to appear despite all this progress.. and what is the fault of these children, the elderly and others in receiving the effects of hunger in a world where the major countries cry out that they are looking for principles . There are approximately 800 million people in the developing world suffering from malnutrition and at least two billion people suffering from mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Despite this, the world has produced enough food to provide less than enough food. In Sudan, the number of people suffering from famine has increased, and the reason for this is due to several reasons that have contributed to this rise in numbers, such as financial administrative corruption. Increasing famines in the world, debts, a decline in the economy and few commercial resources, and in addition to this the rapid growth of the population, bad weather conditions, wars and the collapse of governments, all of which contributed to the formation of food problems in the whole of Sudan.
Hunger and famine are the product of a complex group of intertwined social diseases, which are linked to the global economy, global politics and the formation of social classes. Famines are also linked to the ways of development, consumption and the dynamism of peoples. Poverty is one of the main causes of hunger, which means the lack of purchasing power and the inability to obtain diverse sources. About 33% of people in developing countries are considered poor, and this percentage increases from 70 to 80% in some areas of Sudan.
The world's population is expected to increase from 5.5 billion to 8 billion in 2020, and 93% of this increase is confined to low-income countries, which raises doubts about whether the Earth will be able to withstand this increase. or not without severe environmental problems. For even if this rate of increase is stabilized in the middle of the twenty-first century, this means that the rate of food production will double. That this demand will not be met by the earth, then we must continue inventions, such as the exciting and recent discoveries of agriculture, to fulfill these needs. What is interesting is that clean water, lands, forests and fish resources are exploited to their full potential, and even more than their energies, and the Sudanese people are suffering from poverty and starvation.
Individual incomes and consumption differ greatly at the level of Sudan. About 20% of the world's population, most of them in industrialized countries, receive 85% of the world's income, an amount of 80% of the resources, thus producing about two-thirds of the gases emitted from greenhouses, and the average This consumption cannot be sustained by the world average.
Scientists agree that there is a close link between human activities and global warming due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions from factories and from the increased exhausts of transportation, which work on fuels. This is expected to lead to major changes on Earth such as warming, melting glaciers and melting Antarctica, which would lead to an increase in the water levels in the oceans and seas, which would mean that countless islands and all the lowlands would be drowned. The extreme change in temperature increases the intensity of hurricanes and tornadoes, and increases the rate of destruction generated by them in return. Besides the global environment, hunger and famine are the product of a complex set of intertwined social ills that are linked to the global economy and world politics.
Those in charge of setting policies and plans at various levels need to develop integrated policies and programs that would reflect the relationship between a better standard of living for the poor and a reduction in population growth, in addition to less consumption of non-renewable resources and environmental protection.
