FOOd inequity
Food inequity is an increasingly important issue. People all around the world either do not have enough food to eat or their diet does not meet nutritional requirements. The scarcity of clean water in thousands of communitites is a major contributer to diseases in developing countries aswell as causing generations of malnutrion and infant mortallity. Another major cause of food inequity is poverty. Poverty is the shortage of common things such as food, clothing, shelter and safe drinking water, all of which determine the quality of life. A factor which also affects the food availability and distribution is geography and climate. People in poverty may not have access to fertile land to grow crops.
WATER
780 million people lack access to clean water- 99.8% of them live in developing countries. Clean water is a vital part of agricultural growth and without it growing anything can be very challanging and near impossible. Food inequility is not the only outcome of lack of clean water in these developing countries, often unsanitary water carries several diseases such as Salmonella, Diarrhoea, HIV / AIDS and Malaria amoung many others.

POVERTY
Over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day. Without sufficient money many go hungry or
malnourished. In developed countries, low income families have fewer opportunities to make good, long term, food choices as other expenses might take preference. unfortunatly not making the investment for a potentially healthier crop feeds the vicious cycle of malnutrition.
