HUNGER STUDIES: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, & RESPONSES

In this course, you will review essential concepts from ethical considerations, the framework for understanding hunger as an economic, social, and physical issue, the history and current state of hunger at home and around the world, the involvement of government and non-profit organizations, as well as your role and responsibilities in the fight against hunger.

You will need to immerse yourself into the world of hunger as a future advocate - locally or internationally. You should view the material from the lens of someone who could possibly be involved as either a volunteer or as your potential career to end hunger worldwide.

Hunger is less than 2,100 calories a day. For weeks, even months, its victims must live on significantly less than the recommended 2,100 kilocalories that the average person needs to lead a healthy life. The body compensates for the lack of energy by slowing down its physical and mental activities.
