NAIROBI, Kenya — Parents in some of Africa's poorest countries are cutting back on school, clothes and basic medical care just to give their children a meal once a day, experts say. Still, it is not enough.

A record 1 billion people worldwide are hungry and a new report says the number will increase if governments do not spend more on agriculture. According to the U.N. food agency, which issued the report, 30 countries now require emergency aid, including 20 in Africa.

The trend continues despite a goal set by world leaders nine years ago to cut the number of hungry people in half by 2015.

"We know a child dies every six seconds of malnutrition," he said.

The world's most populous region, Asia and the Pacific, has the largest number of hungry people — 642 million — followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with 265 million.

The FAO says global food output will have to increase by 70 percent to feed a projected population of 9.1 billion in 2050.

To achieve that, poor countries will need $44 billion in annual agricultural aid, compared with the current $7.9 billion, to increase access to irrigation systems and modern machinery as well as build roads and train farmers.

How tragic, the misuse of providing food and overpopulation are having major effects. I don't see a positive ending to this story.

What the fuck are you smoking? Don't try to derail this thread with your bullshit.

 

[Mr. H.]

Kind of makes me ashamed that the U.S. is turning corn into *cough* bio-fuel.

We can import all of our ethanol desires and do it without cost to the government. The Big Ag lobby rules the roost.

This, Ethanol in the long run will definitely do more harm than good.

starvation is a liberal failure, is a fact, all the trillions of welfare given to poor countries keep the poor, poor. You cannot deny this is a liberal policy. This is not derailing the thread, just putting the blame where it belongs.

The U.N. needs to send sterilization kits to the regions hit hardest. On a related note, remember to spay or neuter your cat.

Trillions of welfare huh? Care to back up some of those whacky statements with facts. Besides, if all that foreign aid never went to these countries, wouldn't there be even MORE people starving?

the U. N. needs to disappear, this is simply a failure of liberalism.

The world needs more pure conservative capitalism.

To bad the Palestinians destroyed those multi million dollar greenhouses that grew food.

So the British are forced out of South Africa and starvation increases.

Zimbabwe farms are confiscated from the whites and food production decreases.

Starving people, Liberal failure

So all you did was make a bunch of general opinions. Not one statistic or fact. You can blame Liberals all you want, but it doesn't make it true.

Ain't dat da troot.

In the early 80's when ethanol blends were first tested by the EPA it was discovered that tailpipe emissions did not conform with existing standards. Rather than rebuke Big Ag, the EPA re-wrote emissions standards to accomidate the introduction of ethanol blends in gasoline.

To this day it can not be proven that ethanol has reduced oil imports, improved air quality, or improved market prices for grains.

I think I'll have some pretzels.

There, one less hungry person.

 

[Godboy]

Whatever. I'd believe Satan about as much as I would the UN. And please, what percentage of the worldwide handouts does the US represent?

We have Barrack of Borg trying to assimilate us and mostly our incomes, while we just give shitloads of money away.

Not one fact or statistic, what you smoking, you need to get a bit of an education my freind.

Africa has gone to hell in a hand basket since the whites have been chased out. One of the best hospitals in the world was destroyed in south africa when rule by the whites ended.

Not all people are ready for self rule.

You make a good point. While the idealists believe everyone want's "democracy". it's kind of hard to explain to someone that doesn't know what it is.

Just as it's hard to assume power when one has no experience in being in control. The PC crowd can rant all they want but their ranting flies in the face of logic an dcommon sense.

Eat the hungry.
