Rotunda proyecto

I've decided that I shall enlighten you guys to what my rotunda project will possibly be. I'm very intrigued by world hunger so I have made the decision to go ahead and make some kinds of visual graphs to show how many people die from starvation each year and or how many people suffered from undernourishment. Like Carlie did in her blog I'm going to list some facts I got online about this topic so you guys can get an idea of what I will be showing.

Some 805 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth.

The vast majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries, where 13.5 percent of the population is undernourished. 

 Asia is the continent with the most hungry people - two thirds of the total. The percentage in southern Asia has fallen in recent years but in western Asia it has increased slightly.

 Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence (percentage of population) of hunger. One person in four there is undernourished.

Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five - 3.1 million children each year.

One out of six children -- roughly 100 million -- in developing countries isunderweight.

 One in four of the world's children are stunted. In developing countries the proportion can rise to one in three.

 If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry in the world could be reduced by up to 150 million.

66 million primary school-agechildren attend classes hungryacross the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.

WFP calculates that US$3.2 billion is needed per year to reach all 66 million hungry school-age children.
 

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that about 805 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2012-2014. I think that 805 million people is a crazy number to comprehend so I'm going to try I make an easy visual. To do this I'm going to need around 245 cups of sand. There are 3,281,579 grains of sand in 1 single cup. If you divide 805,000,000 people suffering from chronic undernourishment by 3,281,579 you get 245.3 cups. I'm excited to research about this and show you all what I've learned and hopefully teach people something knew they didn't know about world hunger.
