According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about 870 million people suffer from chronic hunger. That is one in every eight people, or about 13 percent of the world’s population. Some people may think this is the result of a food shortage, but that’s incorrect. In fact, the world produces enough food to feed everyone. The problem is that nutritious food is not always available where it is needed. Another reason so many people go hungry is economics.

One of these organizations is the Empty Bowls Project.
