Progress 3 - The World Food Problem.

Since I already did the presentation of the food related book in the class, I will put the slides of the presentation for the 3rd report of the reading progress.

    Your presentation and blog posting on The World Food Problem was both informative and interesting. You effectively incorporated your PPT slides into the blog entry, as well. You did it in such a way that ensures maximum readability and it doesn't just look like PPT disguised as a blog entry. You presented the information from this challenging, and somewhat outdated, book in a logical and systematic way that makes it easy for us to understand the huge amount of content you had to wade through. Well done!

Progress 2 - The World Food Problem

This is the second report on the reading progress of "The World Food Problem". In the last report , I explained the difference between undernutrition and malnutrition. This time, I will be explaining how researchers around the world tried to measure the extent of hunger .  There has been numerous attemps to measure the extent of hunger in the past, both nationally and internationally. However, it was very difficult to measure it precisely due to its difficulty and complexity of the conducted surveys. The First World Food Survey by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was first conducted in 1946, and there hasn't been much reliable datas before than that. Therefore, some alternatives had to be used when researchers tried to measure the extent of hunger.  The first method was to measure the weight and height of the people in the countries that were said to be suffering from hunger, and compare the numbers with the same datas from the developed countries . It was ...

2023 World Food Day in Russia

For the World Food Day assignment, I searched about Russia's activity on the internet. Unfortunately, I could not find much about Russia's activity itself due to the flooding information of Russia-Ukrain war related articles, but that is also a strongly relevant topic when it comes to world hunger. Thus, I am going to introduce you all what I found during my research. Is Russia helping world hunger? As of 2023, the answer was no as far as I researched. Russia's Ukraine invasion has largely disrupeted world's trading , along with the reduction of agricultural production in Ukraine. This could have or maybe even did damage the economy and food distribution in vulnerable countries related to this trading. At the United Nation's Security Council, Russia was pressured to revive Ukrainian grain shipments and avert the global food crisis by developing countries, western nations and even its ally China. However, Russia didn't give any effort to make things better . I...

THE WORLD FOOD PROBLEM - David Grigg

For my book report assignment, I chose "The World Food Problem (2nd Edition)" by David Grigg. I have only read few pages of the book so far, but I'm assuming that the content of this book is going to be a description and records of histories related to food problems - or malnourishment more specifically - in various developing countries. To be honest I'm not really a big fan of books, but hunger is an issue that I especially sympathize to, so I will put as much effort as possible to understand this issue. However, the book is apparently outdated. So if there's any recommendations of the books similar to this topic, let me know in the comment section below! I'll put a link to the amazon, just in case anyone wants to read it too. https://www.amazon.com/World-Food-Problem-David-Grigg/dp/0631176330
