Knowledge is the best defense against hunger
What is hunger?
People who suffer chronic hunger do not get enough calories, essential nutrients, or both. They have an ongoing problem with access to food.
What causes hunger?
Poverty is the main cause of hunger in the world. This is true in rich and poor countries alike. Most people who are hungry are living in extreme poverty, defined as income of $1.25 per day or less.
Where does hunger exist?
795 million people experience hunger every day. Hunger exists in the U.S. just as it does everywhere. In the last few decades, the world as a whole has seen progress against hunger.
Who experiences hunger?
Anybody can experience hunger at any time. But certain groups and people living under certain conditions are more at risk.
