Reading #5 - Charting a New Path to Eliminating Hunger

Hunger is clearly an issue in the world today, it is usually one of the main problems with the world people identify. However, after reading this chapter, I think it's amazing what is being done to try and stop hunger all across the world. I have previously worked with some hunger organizations, and have done "Meals on Wheels" multiple times.

However, I think the most important step is education, and teaching these people how to grow their own food. I think the urban gardening is a great idea. Many poorer families live in small apartments but the fact that they could still grow some plants on their patio or rooftops of a building is amazing. It really is taking gardening to a whole new level and taking advantage of every piece of land they have access to. I think education is the first step to eliminating hunger. As the saying goes "give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

Every hunger organization is playing an important part in the battle to stop hunger in the world.
