Where are children going hungry? Globally, two places stand out: the Sahel and the Himalayas. Why these two? I would guess at a number of reasons, but mainly the insecurity of the agriculture systems in those areas. Water is not reliable. Weather cannot be trusted. Crops fail. Children starve.
But other areas of the world have similar problems, agriculturally. So why these areas? Look at their history -- how long have they been ignored by their governments and by others? Look at our prejudices -- how many countries do we want to deal with that speak little or no English, practice little or no Christianity, and follow few to none of the Western cultural norms.
I don't have exact answers, again, but I do have questions. Why? I'll be asking this all this week -- why is hunger where it is?
