What are the effects of world hunger? world hunger simply means that there are lots of people with an insufficient amount of food. World hunger has become a major problem nowadays. It is presented in media to the public and, as a result, people behave become aware of it. World hunger has serious social and environmental effects, but there is also some solution.

Some of the social effects of world hunger are malnutrition and illiteracy. When a human body does receive a daily sufficient amount of nutrients, it will not do its functions well. If this condition remains for a long time, the body will eventually die. According to Ziegler(2007) in 2006, hunger and diseases resulted from it were the main death cause of 36 million people (para2). Also, people who do not have enough food have few chances to go for education because obviously, they will not be financially mentally, and physically ready to study.

Some of the environmental effects of world hunger are logging and agriculture. Result in trees many services to the environment where there are they are in industrial areas absorb carbon dioxide and provide us with oxygen, which in agricultural areas are in addition to the above work windbreaks to protect crops and provide shade and provide us with wood, and dead trees in the forest other services important to the environment they lose their leaves periodically and the fallen leaves decomposed "humus" feeds the soil and maintains soil fertility, which provides a constant temperature of about wild animals that find shelter forest, a place suitable for life. According to Harcurt(2011) "many of these great impact on agricultural production and hence nutrition"(para3).
And forests from renewable resources, which goes a lot of human trees to get wood for the furniture industry, paper, and clothing.
Has resulted in over-cutting of trees and forest degradation and its orientation towards drought

Some of the solutions for world hunger are even though the government is doing a lot of solutions to reduce world hunger still are facing this problem. The solution is that government should have to pay all basic expenses to under 18 and over 50 and also give enough employment to young people. Accordingto Ziegler (2007) everyone should work together to find a solution to this problem(para4).
One another solution for decrease world hunger is government should give equal and free education to all citizens even they are rich or poor.

In conclusion: The government should help world hunger or poverty to support people with food and money. Also, someone must fix problems such as health or education to prevent hunger. Also, climate change should make the environment better. If everyone helps us to support people with money or food we won't find world hunger.
