Ending the Global Hunger Crisis on Huffington Post

Dec, 10, 2012 Hi-network.com

Today on the Huffington Post, Tae Yoo, Cisco Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs, writes about how technology is being used to help people who don't have enough food to eat.

She writes: "In a world that currently produces enough food for the entire population, I continue to be astonished that every year 870 million people go hungry and 5 million children die from malnutrition. In today's world of abundance, hunger is still the number 1 health risk, killing more people every year than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Although most of the world's hungry are in developing countries, even here in the United States, one of the largest food producing countries, approximately 1 out of 6 people are "food insecure"; including 16.7 million children. Progress to reduce hunger is being made by tackling both the cause and the consequences of extreme poverty and famine."
