In the wake of the earthquakes in Mexico, the decades of drought in Africa and the fanners’ plight in the United States, World Food Day is an appropriate reminder of our necessary response to world hunger. On Oct. 16, the United States and over 140 other nations observed the traditional World Food Day. The observance provides an opportunity for citizens to study and learn more about world hunger amidst an abundance of food.
According to Louise Knowles, writer and consultant on issues of poverty and hunger, there are three kinds of actions that people can be involved in to end hunger: “relief action, development action, and social and political action.” Various organizations exist to channel energies into each category. Knowles states that it is everyone’s responsibility to seek out organizations that can perform the different actions “efficiently and effectively.”
