Abstract
Global Hunger is one of the most debatable topics in the International arena today, probably due to its rising seriousness and the extent to which it can ripple life of many. World hunger is on a continuous rise without any stop. Despite the rising international institutions, the spectre of poverty has widely been flourishing, therefore the urgency of global consciousness seems more plausible to provide a dissent life standard for all. UNICEF reports that 690 million people still go to bed with a hungry stomach which is equal to 8.9% and if it continues it shall touch the mark of 840 million by 2030. Various institutions are working to prevent the humanitarian crisis at both international and national level. One of such agencies which have been playing a quite commendable role to feed the needy in times of crisis and disaster is the World Food Programme, fighting global
hunger crisis. Its foremost core areas of work are improving the nutrition level of foods being supplied, Policy Reforms to enhance food and nutrition security, while taking into consideration of people hailing from all parts, caste. Gender, sex and creed. This humanitarian and food assistance organ of the UN won the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for 2020 with regard to counter severe food crisis, ensuring peace in conflict affected areas and acting as a contributor to Global Justice. This paper will focus on a wider dimension of Global Hunger, ranging from concepts and theoretical perspectives to problems and solutions, as a whole to prepare the world for a better place to survive with Zero Hunger.
