This is an article on food security throughout the world. The security of “when every person has physical and economic access at all times to healthy and nutritious food in sufficient quantity to cover the needs of their daily ration and food preferences, in order to live a healthy and active life.” This is a brief article describing the food crisis around the world, such as Africa. They state that the only reason Africa was being recognized at first was because of the AIDS epidemic killing 6 million people, compared to the 12 million who die every day due to lack of food. It also describes what is known as the three fundamental pillars in achieving food security: availability, access to food, and food utilization. I plan on using this information in my paper to show how many countries can’t even take the necessary steps to insure their food security.

This is an article about the effects of being malnutrition, under nutrition, and over nutrition. This article also states the nutrients needed in order to prevent the effects of under nutrition. For example, this article states that the cause for under nutrition in many countries is the soil and that some families just aren’t able to obtain many of the items needed in order to prevent this from happening. These families may have low to no income, no social resources, ad no environmental resource either. At the end of this article, they try to address the issue of world hunger and come up with a plan to stop it. I plan on using this article in my paper to show the reader how these countries are categorized into these statements of being malnutrition. I also plan to use this to show the reader how the United States is trying or tried to come up with a plan to help the third world countries.

This article is very short, but it shows great information on how there is some work being done to provide the third-world countries with some type of hope. This article describes a solar powered water system that can be used to clean water to those who aren’t lucky enough to have it. This is a great idea considering these countries don’t have electricity; they are using the suns energy. This news is very recent; Aug 30th, 2012 is the date this article was released, it states that this purifier was released one week from that day. They stated that this newly found purifier can possibly save lives and prevent further dirty water formed diseases.
I plan on using this information to help support my claim on how there are people throughout the world trying to help these third-world countries get some kind of hope.
