Human Population Growth and Poverty

http://www.globalissues.org/article/200/population-and-feeding-the-world

Nowadays, hunger is seen as one of the world's most prevalent issues. There have been millions of lives lost due to being malnourished, but its main problem isn't just not living in agricultural areas. Currently it is estimated that 925 million people in the world are hungry, nearly 1/7 of our world's population. Also nearly 80% of the world's population lives on under $10 a day and nearly a half of the population lives on less that $2.50. People don't just go hungry because they simply don't live in an area where food is produced, but because the food cannot be purchased. For many people, the daily cost of food is far too much, even though there really is enough food for all to eat, it's mainly that there is too much poverty. Due to this poverty many cases of death arise and even some people, such as Somalian warlords, take advantages of this terrible status and use it for their own power and gain. If we are to save people that are living under terrible conditions such as these, we must send out a reaching hand, but also get rid of corrupt individuals.
