    Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from.   36   Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate!

    Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP.

    According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people.   37   There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers.

    People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger.   38   An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food.

    Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world.   39   In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation.

    Conflicts around the world can disrupt farming and food production. Fighting forces millions of people to flee their homes. These people don’t have the means to feed themselves.

       40   Food that is wasted uses up precious natural resources.

A. How can we solve the problem?

B. Each nation has its own challenges.

C. One-third of all food produced is never consumed.

E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.

F. Natural disasters such as flood and tropical storms can impact food output too.
