A Hungry World provides background information, statistics, case studies, classroom activities and action ideas for teaching about global food insecurity. In this resource students explore the many causes and impacts of the food crisis, such as rising fuel prices, ethanol and meat production and commodities markets-while considering the complex ways in which causes and impacts are interrelated. Students examine their own food consumption, read case studies about affected children and families and consider the difficult choices families are sometimes forced to make when their food supply diminishes.
