 **Research Report Outline** **Introduction Paragraph** ﻿We often hear about people's desire to solve world hunger, or to be able to feed the world and help alleviate the suffering associated with it. However, world hunger usually leads to poverty, it is a terrible symptom of world poverty. If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependancy would still remain. While continuous effort, resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through these technical measures, the political causes require political solutions as well.

**THESIS STATEMENT:** //Hunger is the situation when there is extreme poverty. In this condition, individuals and families find it difficult to meet their basic needs due to agricultural issues.// **HOOK:** Every year //about 15 million children die because of hunger// **Main Point 1:** Chronic hunger claims more victims than famine each year -- by far; such as, high infant mortality rates and vulnerability to common illness. Main Point 2: //Agricultural productivity s declining sharply due to land degradation, which affects to some degree as much as two thirds of the world's agricultural land// **Main Point 3:** A reason as to why some places have trouble growing food in there crops is because of the weather and he effect of climate change, this is one factor that leads to world hunger.

**Body Paragraphs** Basically, the main point of my research project is to inform people of the issue that is at hand; World Hunger. I would also like to find out information in how to help the situation of Word Hunger. Many people and organizations across the globe are involved in this struggle to help out with world hunger.

__ **Body 1**  __ **Main Point 1:** About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every three and a half seconds. Unfortunately it is children that usually die first.

** Support Detail/Evidence 1: There is plenty of food in the world for everyone. The problem is, that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. **  **Detail Explanation:** This proves my main point because m main point states that many people die every day of hunger and states that its usually the children that die first.

**Support Detail/Evidence 2:** Agricultural productivity is declining sharply due to land degradation, which affects to some degree as much as two thirds of the world's agricultural land. **Detail Explanation:** This detail above helps explain my main point for this first body paragraph. This detail talks about agricultural issues and this is one main reason that leads to world hunger.

**Support Detail/Evidence 3:** Weather is a main reason that leads to World Hunger. **Detail Explanation:** If the weather is bad out and it hasn't rained for months then crops will die and will be dried out. Weather plays a big part in today's agricultural society. It is what helps the crops grow and the crops are how we get our food. Without our food it ill lead to World Hunger.

**Transition Statement:** Political leaders, researchers and grass roots agricultural organizations are increasingly in agreement that transition to more organic farming methods that target feeding their home areas first will build stringer, safer and ultimately more prosperous countries.

__ **Body 2**  __ **Main Point 1:** Many people die everyday due to starvation issues. Some affects that lead to World Hunger is Agriculture problems and weather.

**Support Detail/Evidence 1:** Agricultural organizations are increasingly in agreement that transition to more organic farming methods that target feeding their home areas first will build stringer, safer and ultimately more prosperous countries. **Detail Explanation:** Food is a basic necessity of life. Yet over the last century agricultural sectors have been declining in relative importance.

**Support Detail/Evidence 2:** Governments of many countries have felt it expedient to intervene in agricultural markets, and have resorted to a bewildering array of controls and subsides. **Detail Explanation:** This has often led to the accumulation of vast productions of vast surpluses, which have sometimes rotted in storage and sometimes been sold abroad at subsided prizes.

**Support Detail/Evidence 3:** **Detail Explanation:** chances are your support detail/evidence is a “copy/paste”. thats ok! here is your chance to explain it and make it your own. why does this prove your main point.

**Transition Statement:** The agricultural tools and technologies developed through the years have enabled American farmers to become extremely efficient food producers.

__ **Body 3**  __ **Main Point 1:** A reason as to why some places have trouble growing food in there crops is because of the weather and the effect of climate change, this is one factor that leads to world hunger.

**Support Detail/Evidence 1:** We're talking about the billions of farmers that billions of people depend on to grow food, the food that they need to survive. **Detail Explanation:** In the future, they'll have to grow even more food with no additional resources.

**Support Detail/Evidence 2:** Hunger is "the want or scarcity of food" and affects approximately one in seven people worldwide. **Detail Explanation:** Over a billion people are undernourished around the world, with more people dying from hunger and malnutrition than from AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis combined.

**Support Detail/Evidence 3:** Hunger is not caused simply by lack of food. Poverty, failing infrastructures, inefficient and shortsighted agricultural practices and policies, deficient education, authoritarianism, sever weather, war-all intertwine to deny adequate food production and supply. **Detail Explanation:** The global food system tends to treat food as a commodity, not as a basic need to which every person has a fundamental right.

**Transition Statement: 96 billion** Number of pounds of food literally thrown away in the United states each year, raising serious moral and legal questions about the equitable distribution of food national and worldwide
