Hunger, Homelessness & Poverty - At about human deprivation - How much longer can we wait for FAO's solution?

By Wilson T Gomes

How can the distribution of food be more equitable? Is hunger caused by lack of food or lack of distribution? What can people in the developed nations do to help abolish world hunger?

According to the FAO [1] in the Anti-Hunger Programme [2] (A twin-track approach to hunger reduction: priorities for national and international action) [3] “Hunger is the most extreme manifestation of poverty and human deprivation”, and it isn’t just a moral outrage; its an infringement of the most basic of human right: “the right to adequate food” or life’s right. By the middle of nineteenth century, we’ve seen the raise and establishment of the capitalism.

Whereas what have been happened for the people everywhere since this specific event and considering all capitalism characters, I believe people in all of world have been witnessed the most impressed and phenomenal absence of respect for the human-life.

Nowadays, we can see an uncharitable behavior with poverty-stricken people, frequently we can heard everywhere expression like poor little beggar but nothing has been done about poverty. Indeed, we can say there is neither an specific state policy for striking hunger, disease and miserable behavior nor policy for distribution of governmental gains among low-rent people, and then whether we believe or not, hunger it isn’t a problem of logistic distribution of food (transport infrastructure, food handling technology, regulation, storage or adequate source) but it’s caused by lack of wealth among indigent people.

In any case, another point of view we’ve got to pay attention is that the prosperity of people who lives in developed countries have been contrasted with poverty within the third world in a unbearable way, doubtlessly, we can say that the budget deficit in the Third World is unpayable.

Nevertheless, we can assert that the most of area in a country for being developed must be financed by government sponsored, it can’t be applied in the Third World because there’s no rationality on division of wealth produced by the economy and for changing global capital is necessary that people in developed countries want to split their comfort, wealth, food, etc. with others so that whomever want to work out hunger, poverty, misery, around the world, must to do this through political attempts in their own countries .

[2] Differences between British and American English: programme
In the UK, a programme is usually a set of plans to develop or improve something. If this is arranged by the government, British speakers might call it a scheme: “the government’s new grant scheme.”
In the US, program can have the same general meaning, but it is also often used to refer to a group of related services or projects organized by a government or a NON GOVERNMENTAL organization: “the Food Stamp Program.”
In the US, program can also mean a plan of activities organized by an educational institution: “the Asian Studies program.”
When an American speaker says scheme, they usually mean a plan to do something bad or illegal.
