Global Hunger Crisis and Food Wasted. There is enough food produced in the world to feed everyone. One third of all food produced is lost or wasted – around 1.3 billion tonnes of food – costing the global economy close to $940 billion each year. One in nine people do not have enough food to eat; that’s 793 million people who are undernourished. If one quarter of the food currently lost or wasted could be saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million hungry people. Almost half of all fruit and vegetables produced are wasted (that’s 3.7 trillion apples). 8% of greenhouse gases heating the planet are caused by food waste. If food waste was a country, it would be the third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases after USA and China. Eliminating global food waste would save 4.4 million tonnes of C02 a year, the equivalent of taking one in four cars off the road. Throwing away one burger wastes the same amount of water as a 90 minute shower. . . . . . #thirdworldhungry #globalhunger #hunger #foodwaste #foodwasted #thirdworld #africa #food #hungry #humanrace #humanity #humans #humanrights (presso Benevento, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3TQH2FsSX/?igshid=bgag3z788qk9

486 Million Asians Are Still Hungry, UN Report Says
A new report from the UN says the absolute number of Asians suffering from hunger has stagnated, while at the same time obesity increases across the globe. While Asia and the Pacific region's economy is growing, the region is still battling hunger according to the latest report from the United Nations (UN). The report revealed that 486 million of the region’s population are suffering from malnutrition. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) report released on Friday stated that even in booming capitals such as Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, impoverished families could not afford to buy appropriate food for their kids, leading to long-term health risks that could severely impact their future and livelihood. In Bangkok, more than one-third of children did not eat an adequate and nutritious diet as of 2017. While only four percent of children in Pakistan could get a ‘minimally acceptable diet’. Over the last three years, the absolute number of undernourished people in the region has stagnated at around 486 million or 11.5 percent of the population. Between 2005 and 2014, the region was consistently improving and decreasing those numbers but the recent stagnation has dismayed officials. “After all those years of gains in fighting hunger and malnutrition in Asia and the Pacific we now find ourselves at a virtual standstill,” said Kundhavi Kadiresanh, an FAO Regional Director. “We have to pick up the pace.” FAO data also shows that 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted or lost annually, while more than 800 million are hungry worldwide. In 2017 according to the World Food Program (WFP), around 124 million in 51 countries "experienced high levels of food insecurity" - an increase of 11 million people compared to the previous year. Food insecurity is defined by the WFP's report as "hunger so severe that it poses an immediate threat to lives or livelihoods."
Hunger, Clean Water and Sanitation
The report focused on the importance of providing clean drinking water and sufficient sanitation to combating diseases that can harm health, especially in children. In Indonesia, for example, the FAO cited a study which found the prevalence of stunted growth is closely correlated to the access to improved latrines. The FAO report also found that while many poor residents in Southeast Asia rely heavily on bottled water for drinking, the bottled water itself is often contaminated as well. A sample study in Cambodia revealed that 80 percent of bottled water contained bacteria and most of them had coliform or fecal contamination. At the same time, more than one in eight adults in Asia are now obese, with Asia and the Pacific recording the most rapid growth of child obesity prevalence due to the increased consumption of processed foods containing high levels of fat, sugar, and salt. From 2000 to 2016, the number of overweight children younger than five increased 38 percent in Asia and the Pacific, the FAO reported in April. A report from the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) in April found obesity costs countries in the Asia-Pacific region around $ 166 billion per year. Ironically, at the same time, they are struggling to fight against malnutrition. Rapid urbanization is one of the main factors that cause both obesity and malnutrition in Asia and the Pacific. "The region has undergone economic growth, so food has become available at a relatively cheaper price," said Matthias Helble, an economist at the ADBI in Tokyo who has researched obesity levels in the region for three years. The number of obese children in Indonesia, for example, rose threefold, according to a global study released by the New England Journal of Medicine in June 2017. They then become more vulnerable to life-threatening diseases when they grow up such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. “We have more processed food, more energy-dense food, more intense marketing of food products, and these products are more available and more accessible,” said Dr. Ashkan Afshin, assistant professor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “The food environment seems to be the main driver of obesity.” Read the full article

Associates from Rich’s manufacturing facility in Eagan, Minnesota, recently got together to help turn hunger into hope for needy children. As part of their ongoing community outreach efforts, associates partnered with Feed My Starving Children to help pack nutritious meals for hungry kids.
FMSC - a Christian nonprofit organization founded in 1987 - was near and dear to the plant’s late manager, Bruce Kasten, a lifelong Rich’s associate who passed away last January. The organization uses donations to provide nutritionally complete meals for malnourished children in far-flung locations across the globe.
Rich’s associate Cynthia Macias organized an FMSC meal-packing event earlier this year, resulting in an astonishing total of 21,168 meals – enough to feed 58 children for one year. Several Rich’s associates hand-packed the special “MannaPack” meals, which are specifically designed to reverse malnutrition. The meals are distributed daily to schools, orphanages, clinics and feeding programs through FMSC’s in-country food partners.
Volunteer meal-packing opportunities exist around the United States. For FMSC’s “MobilePack” event locations and schedules, visit https://volunteer.fmsc.org/register/#.WOTyVvnys2w.
