Environmental Causes of Hunger

• 800 million people lack access to basic health care, and 1.2-billion lack access to safe drinking water around the world.
• In the mid-west United States, tornadoes can ruin large amounts of crops and cause the farmers to become poor, and then they have to rely on welfare or food stamps because they do not have a proper education.
• Floods all over the world can leave people homeless and hungry, and again lack of education can affect the way that they live after the flood.
• Hurricanes are also a major cause of hunger around the world because they can destroy large crops with one storm, leaving tem flooded and useless to the farmers.
• An average 250 crops around the world are destroyed by natural disasters per month.
