The Road to a Healthier Life

What are the ways to prevent  world hunger? Volunteering or work for an organization? Donating clothes or food to local Salvation Army? Yes, these activities can help end world hunger too but some of the activities have been ineffective. Although, if one thing is assured, then that is what we must do.

Here are some activities that can prevent world hunger:

Stop the Meat FEAST

–> Meat production is increasing greenhouse gas emissions. As meat supply and consumption increase around the world, more sustainable food systems must be encouraging (UN Environment Programme) to consumers. The issue is that more than half of the grain products or plant-based products are being fed to livestock and fish. Therefore, even though there are plenty of food resources worldwide, it is a serious problem to prioritize feeding the cattle first.

Help the Next Generation

Bill Gates  stated “Eliminating malnutrition is achievable. It’s within our reach.” Giving proper knowledge of nutrition and education on how important it is to consume food is critical for a child and his/her mother to understand in order to halt hunger in their individual lives.

Empowering Women

Empowering women will prevent world hunger and this has been proved over history. When women gain access to food they become providers for their families which has had a major impact on food access and ability to change financial situations (Global Citizen).

Buy Fair Trade

If items that are marked with the International Fair Trade symbol, you should buy it! It is another way to help feed other people like Guatemalan farmers. How can this help? The company that buys the item from Guatemalan farmers also helps those communities to further develop their lives with your purchase!
