Every day too many men and women across the globe struggle to feed their children a nutritious meal. There are hundreds of theories on how we can end world hunger. Some have been effective and others not, but one thing is certain, and that is that we must do something in order to achieve a world of Zero Hunger.
Transitioning: Many families dealing with poverty need help transitioning into a state of self-dependance. 15 Feeds Family is an organization that helps with this transition. They start by providing families with food, but then slowly find solutions to empower families to be self-sufficient. This is important, because self-sufficiency allows for a certain food income, when relying on donations does not always guarantee food.
Precision Agriculture: Advancements in precision agriculture, a farming management concept that incorporates internet of things (IoT) technology into farming techniques, offers another way to help feed the planet.
Gene-Edited Crops: Gene editing is essentially a much quicker form of breeding. New companies are being set up to help evolve the nutrition of food with the promise of delivering high quality, trusted ingredients that are traceably produced for complete transparency. The powerful new gene editing technology known as CRISPR allows researchers to correct genetic defects, treat and prevent the spread of diseases and improve crops. The latest advancements could result in healthier food alternatives for consumers with the same great taste that they love.
Urban Farming: Almost one-quarter of undernourished people live in an urban environment. Recently, there has been a big push for urban farming. It empowers families to gain control over their own food source. Moreover, it brings farms closer to where people live, this farming method is expected to be both efficient and cost-effective by reducing transportation expenses.
Food Donations: The impact of donations, both cash and food, have had an immense impact on world hunger. Organizations such as Food for All have customers donate $1-5 when checking out. Last year they raised a whopping $60 million to fight world hunger.
