Week 6 discussion board- soc 450 | SOC 450 – Solutions to Global Issues | Strayer University

Class, as we begin Week 6, please read and review the assigned chapter materials for this discussion.

Chapter 4, “Food,” in your textbook illustrates that there is enough food produced and available to feed the entire world every day. However, for various reasons, millions still go hungry, making food security—having consistent access to adequate nutritional food—a persistent global social problem in both developing and developed countries.  

REQUIRED WEEK 6 CHECKLIST

Task A) Respond to the following statements using the Hite chapter readings, other course material and external credible resources.  It is imperative to provide complete and fully reference sources for this discussion.  Class, it is always a good idea to review the Weekly Discussion Guide (see Course Info) to check “The Rules” of discussion postings–every point counts. 

• Where do most of the world’s hungry live? Be specific.
• Using your Week 6 assignment developing countries (at least one), or  a newly selected developing country from the World Bank 2020 List (Course Info), discuss specific food insecurity issues for your selected developing country. For example, what types of food security problems are experienced by people in this country? Who is more likely to suffer from food insecurity problems in this country? Why?
