Number of hungry people worldwide increases after four decadesadmin on January 31st, 2009

A press release from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) on the 16^th of December 2008 calls for a rescue package for the world’s hungry. This is coinciding with recent reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that the world’s population suffering from hunger has risen to nearly 1 billion following the addition of a further 40 million hungry people last year mainly due to an increase in food prices. The WFP is the UN’s voluntarily funded frontline agency for hunger solutions. It depends on the annual contributions of State parties for all of its programs. In 2009, the WFP is seeking to feed 98 million people in 77 countries for which they need US$5.2 billion. Without an immediate addition of funding millions of people around the world could starve as warehouse stocks of food assistance runs out by the end of March this year.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is a United Nations agency that is also the world’s largest humanitarian organization that combats global hunger. By getting food to people during and after emergencies, the WFP fights hunger worldwide to pursue their vision that every person has access at all times to enough food to live a healthy and active life. They not only provide food aid but also capacity building for countries to reduce hunger in their territory. Each year, their food assistance benefits about 100 million people in 80 countries. The WFP believes that “without food, there can be no sustainable peace, no democracy and no development”.

It’s good to eat good food but it’s not good to waste them and find the best way to waste it?, I have a good advice if you have a wasted and not good food to eat. But not everybody is capable of doing it:

- Chickens.

- Dogs.

Whenever i have an extra unwanted food i gather them inside a bag and give it to Chickens –> believe me you will have a delesious eggs. On the other hand you can give the unwanted “not good” bones and meats to dogs.

Try it it’s very good idea, but also avoid waste food and i found very strange idea which is:

which you can gather the wasted food and not to have an extra effort to put them by yourself into a plastic bag……!!!!

I believe the best look that you can every have from a hungry person that you are helping to stop his/her hunger today and tomorrow and every day.
I hope we always use want we really want and give what they really need….

Dear All,

I’ve tried the ttable idea to reduce the food wastage that I had and it’s working perfectly fine. Now I’m purchasing ONLY the food that I need, on the other hand if I had purchased an extra food the I put it in good packing and put it in the front of our building in Alexandria, Egypt. Poor people can take fresh and good food.

of sharing food is a good and brilliant idea.
