Starvation is a severe reduction in vitamin, nutrient and energy intake.
It is the most extreme form of malnutrition.
In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage and eventually,
death. The term
inanition
refers to the symptoms and effects of
starvation.According to the World Health Organization, hunger is the gravest single threat to the world's public health.
The WHO also states that malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases.
According to the FAO, starvation currently affects more than
one billion people,
or
1 in 6 people on the planet.A
famine
is a widespread scarcity of food that may apply to any faunal species.
This phenomenon is usually accompanied by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality.
Emergency measures in relieving famine primarily include providing deficient micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, through fortified sachet powders or directly through supplements.
The famine relief model increasingly used by aid groups calls for giving cash or cash vouchers to the hungry to pay local farmers instead of buying food from donor countries, often required by law, as it wastes money on transport costs.
Long term measures include investment in modern agriculture in places that lack them, such as fertilizers and irrigation, which largely eradicated hunger in the developed world.
However,
World Bank
strictures restrict government subsidies for farmers and the spread of fertilizer use is hampered by some environmental groups.
Do you know why?
Our country is broke and in dept, because of
financial crooks.
Wake up America, we are the only ones who can change this Country
