925 million people suffered from hunger
in 2010.
263 million are all from Sub-Saharan
Africa and North and Eastern part of
Africa.
13.6 % of the world population lives in
hunger.
Democratic Republic of Congo has the
most hungry people in the world.
Only 2% of their land is arable( usable for
farming).
Most of their food is high in price
because of no land is farmable, and not
many people can afford food.
Gebisa Ejeta was a plant breeder & he
also studied genetics.
This method of planting helped millions of
hungry children in Africa.
He could find a way to plant sorghum
and make it last through droughts and
he could make clones of these plants.
Plant Breeding involves pollen and
genetic engineering. Plant Breeding
kind’ve makes plants become pet-like.
Plant Breeding has been around since
the start of civilization. When you plant
breed, you can make a plant suitable for
a specific environment.
They can do this on animals, food, and
other things.
In 2010, 1 in every 7 households lived in
hunger.

We are the country that everyone looks
up to.
If we spread the word maybe more and
more countries would help.
We can be the role models in the world.
Another reason, it isn’t fixed is because
we don’t have to face this in our lifes.
These changes can be started at
Northside and end up with many
changes to Africa and other countries.
They have the same rights as us and they
deserve more.
If we don’t help, WHO WILL?
Child Soldiers and Joseph Kony.
No home, No Shelter.
Food Crisis in 2011
Diseases
No Hospital Care
And Many More
You can feel free to ask any questions or
raise your hand and answer the
questions I provide.
Why yes, this is the end of my project, but
not the end of hunger in the Democratic
Republic of Congo and your journey can
help stop hunger in Africa.
