Science and Technology can be essential tools when trying to find a solution for hunger around the globe.  This article targets the science community, as well as people interested in advanced technology.  People interested in more advanced technology may be better off than the average person so by targeting them, there is a better chance for support with eliminating hunger.  Food insecurity is rising and these two tools can help bring that down.  Research has been done and they have come up with a few ways to have better food security.  One of the more important ways is to increase the production of food so that there is more and equal to the amount of output as there is people.  The population is growing and the food production needs to be growing as well instead of staying the same.  Most people wouldn’t think of science and technology when looking for a solution to end hunger but in this paper I will explain how the two can help.

This article discusses hunger among children between the 1970's and 1990's.  It gives statistics for different categories, including percentages of the food insufficiency throughout the years as well as rate it has either increased or decreased.  The audience targeted is everyone who is concerned with the past and how we can use it to improve our approach to this matter.  It also shows the percentage of individuals who reported food insufficiency by age groups. Overall, this article shows how hunger or food insufficiency is measured.  I am going to compare the statistics from the past to the ones now, as well as the approaches used to try to eliminate food insecurity.

The article targets the general public and tries to convince them that food insecurity is all around us and is a seriously matter.  The Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing shows the updated statistics from 2011 of food insecurity among children.  This article focuses on children and how even short term hunger can affect them.  The general topic of poverty is discussed and is compared on an international scale.  Reading this article hits home to many people because imagining a child starving is not something you want to do.  By showing the cold hard facts of how many children go to bed starving can inspire more people to help.  The 2010 Healthy, Hunger-free kids Act is discussed and explained as well.  Food security is the foundation of all other health, education, and economic development.  I will use this source to specifically target hunger among children and explain how we as a society can eliminate it.

The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and World Food Summit (WFS) are two programs that this organization is using to get rid of hunger.  They look at hunger and malnutrition on a global scale but know where more help is needed in some areas.  The overall report of how these organizations have affected hunger and malnutrition as well as how they are going about doing it.  For people who want to dig deeper into the reasoning behind food insecurity, this is the website for them.  This organization provides further research into why this issue is still occurring.  This source will be very helpful with distinguishing and comparing malnutrition and hunger.
