New Delhi: The scarcity of food is growing out to be one of the major challenges, and its impact can be seen as millions of people go to bed empty-handed every day. Thus, it is our moral responsibility not to waste food and to make sure every person on this planet gets proper food every day. To boost this thought and make it effective, May 28 is annually observed as World Hunger Day, which brings together communities, organisations, and individuals to fight hunger across the globe. Every year, a specific theme is selected to make the celebration grand and special.
World Hunger Day 2024 theme
This year, World Hunger Day will revolve around the theme ‘Thriving Mothers. Thriving World.’ The aim of the theme is to spread awareness about malnutrition and support communities in breaking the hunger cycle. It is important to invest in the nutrition of mothers and children to achieve a thriving future.
World Hunger Day has been designed to address the rising cases of malnutrition, especially affecting women and girls, because of rising costs of living, conflict, and climate change.
Millions of people living hungry
According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP), it is estimated that 783 million people from 97 countries where the Rome-based agency operates across the globe go to bed empty stomach every night. Simply, one out of every 10 people in the world cannot afford a healthy diet, perpetuating a cycle of chronic hunger. If a mother is hungry and malnourished, she will give birth to malnourished babies, resulting in irreversible impacts on the brains of children and their future. Moreover, it will significantly impact the future of the country as well.
World Hunger Day, which came into existence in 2011, is an initiative of the Hunger Project, which was founded in 1977. The Hunger Project is a global movement focusing on creating a hunger-free planet. The Hunger Project believes in a sustainable, lasting solution to make sure people do not live in hunger and focuses on empowering people in developing countries to lead self-reliant lives. The Hunger Project focuses on dealing with the root causes of hunger, like gender inequality, poverty, and a lack of education.
