Causes that lead to Hunger

Lots of things in life can cause hunger. Many including poverty, and climate change. Poverty causes hunger because they do not have enough money to get food. Climate change is being viewed current and future cause of hunger. The increase drought, flooding, and changing climatic patterns are putting a shift in crops and farming practices that may not be easily accomplished. Many different food charities are trying to stop world hunger by donating as much food as they can. The target set at the 1996 World Food Summit was to halve the number of undernourished people by 2015 from their number in 1990-92. The estimated number of undernourished people was 824 million people in 1990-92, but later it increased to 1.02 billion people!
