UN
buy food that supports the environment and never waste food
need to focus on making new achievements in agriculture; conflicts must be eliminated
runs a project called Climate-Smart agriculture
making efforts to reduce climate change
Host: So I guess things like droughts, floods, and climate change are all major factors in this.
David: Yes , that ' s right, they can all seriously affect crop production. And another factor is poverty. There is strong evidence to suggest that many people just can ' t afford to eat well. And it ' s not just about having enough food to eat ; people need to eat enough nutritious food , which often they cannot afford or do not have access to. The FAO believes everyone should have the right to healthy food.
Host: And what about war I ' ve seen many researchers say that it directly leads to mass hunger.
David: Absolutely true. Our research indicates that wars can heavily affect food production and transportation , meaning that millions of people have to go hungry.
Host: So what can we do to alleviate world hunger
David: Well , the UN is making efforts to reduce climate change, and the FAO runs a project called Climate - Smart Agriculture, which helps countries to develop sustainable agriculture. However, every country needs to focus on making new achievements in agriculture, too, which can often benefit the whole world. Like China, for example, whose development of hybrid rice has greatly increased rice production in many other countries. And, of course, global conflict must be eliminated. And don ' t forget that we as individuals can also make a difference: buy food that supports the environment , and never waste food.
