It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition, about 100 times as many as those who actually die from it each year. Often it takes just a few simple resources for impoverished people to be able to grow enough food to become self-sufficient. These resources include quality seeds, appropriate tools, and access to water. Small improvements in farming techniques and food storage methods are also helpful. Many hunger experts believe that ultimately the best way to reduce hunger is through education.
Educated people are best able to break out of the cycle of poverty that causes hunger.
