Hunger remains one of humanity’s greatest challenges. The target is to achieve zero world hunger by 2030. That’s the United Nations’ goal. But the world is a long way from achieving that. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the number of people without enough to eat is rising — in 2020, more than 750 million people went hungry – maybe as many as 811 million. That’s around one tenth of the global population. The worst hit regions are Asia, with 418 million, and Africa with 282 million. Researchers believe the situation in Africa has dramatically worsened.

When using the word “inequality,” there are several key points to consider:
Disparity: Inequality refers to a condition or state of being unequal, where there is a lack of fairness, justice, or balance. It often highlights differences or disparities in various aspects of life, such as wealth, income, education, opportunities, or treatment.
Differential Treatment: Inequality may arise when individuals or groups are treated differently based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or socioeconomic status. It can result in advantages or disadvantages for certain individuals or groups, leading to unequal outcomes.
Social Impacts: Inequality can have significant social impacts, including reduced social cohesion, increased social stratification, and limited social mobility. It can contribute to divisions, tensions, and conflicts within societies, leading to economic, political, and social consequences.
Structural Factors: Inequality can be influenced by various structural factors, such as economic systems, policies, laws, social norms, and cultural beliefs. These factors can create or perpetuate disparities, leading to systemic or structural inequality that is embedded in institutions and systems.
Human Rights: Inequality is often seen as a violation of human rights, including the principles of equality, non-discrimination, and social justice. It can be addressed through human rights frameworks and principles, advocating for equal opportunities, fairness, and dignity for all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds or characteristics.
Intersectionality: Inequality can intersect with multiple dimensions of identity, such as race, gender, class, and more. Intersectionality recognizes that individuals may face different forms of discrimination or disadvantage based on the intersection of their identities, and that addressing inequality requires an understanding of these complex intersections.
Addressing Inequality: Recognizing and addressing inequality often involves implementing policies, interventions, and initiatives that promote equity, fairness, and inclusivity. It may require systemic changes, advocacy, and collective efforts to reduce disparities, promote equal opportunities, and create a more just and inclusive society.
Measurement and Data: Inequality can be measured through various indicators, such as income or wealth gaps, educational attainment, employment opportunities, health outcomes, and more. Data and evidence-based approaches are often used to understand the extent and nature of inequality and to inform policy and decision-making processes.
Overall, “inequality” encompasses a complex and multifaceted concept that involves disparities, differential treatment, social impacts, structural factors, human rights, intersectionality, and efforts to address and reduce disparities to create a more equitable and inclusive society.

8 Why Are People Starving In Booming Ethiopia?
25 mei 2016
In the 80s the West was shocked by images of Ethiopias starving children and aid poured in from across the world. Now Ethiopias economy is booming. But once again babies are dying of malnutrition. What went wrong?
In Ethiopias capital Addis Abbaba the signs of new wealth are everywhere. Glass sky-rise blocks dwarf traditional stone settlements, and with daybreak hundreds of builders arrive at the citys construction sites. But on the outskirts is a very different scene. A long queue is forming here. Word has spread that cheap, government-subsidised food will be sold here. We ask one man if he has trouble feeding himself. Yes, he says, because of the Food Shortage. Just very recently we hit the worst, local woman Valerie Browning tells us. But the Developed World, the Ethiopian government and even many aid agencies want Ethiopia to be a success story. That means the real story often goes untold. At the breadline government security arrives and forces us to leave. This happens every day to news crews in Ethiopia. The government dont want to say that there is another side of the story, explains Former Ethiopian MP Gebru Asrat. The majority of the population do live in dire poverty. And in Ethiopia millions are getting poorer every year.

9 The Tragic Cost of Progress in Ethiopia
28 okt. 2013
The truth behind Ethiopia’s economic miracle
Ethiopia’s huge agricultural output has brought about an economic miracle for the nation. But inhabitants are being pushed out of their native land by foreign investors and have no share in the profits.
“When investors showed up we were told to pack up our things and go to the villages”, says Moot. Like thousands of other farmers he’s been relocated to an artificial village to make space for new foreign agricultural investments. The promise of social services, including schools and clinics, has not been fulfilled and fear of arrest paralyses the farmers. Government spokesmen defend the policy, arguing that “our population is spread all across the territory. We can’t give them care until they are grouped together”. But with Africa’s most fertile land being rented well below international market price and little need for labour in the highly industrialised farmlands, traditional farmers are struggling for survival.

10 The dark side of agriculture in Ethiopia (1/2) | DW Documentary (Farming documentary)
5 jan. 2019
Across the globe, global commercial demand for arable land is on the rise. One of the most profitable new agricultural hotspots is Ethiopia. [Online until: February 4, 2019]
Part 2: https://youtu.be/Igk5NHH-qJ0
Farmland – the new green gold. In the hopes of huge export revenues, the Ethiopian government is leasing millions of hectares of land to foreign investors. But there’s a dark side to this dream of prosperity.
The results are massive forced evictions, the destruction of smallholdings, state repression, and a vicious spiral of violence in light of environmental devastation. Global institutions like the EU, World Bank and DFID are contributing to this disaster with billions of dollars in development money every year. Whoever gets in their way is met with severe consequences. The young Ethiopian environmental activist Argaw learned that the hard way when he tried to raise awareness for his country’s plight.
Are transnational land investments bolstering the economy or selling out the country? While some hope for financial gains and development, others are losing their very livelihood. In pursuit of the story, we meet investors, bureaucrats, persecuted journalists, struggling environmentalists and farmers who have been evicted from their land. Swedish director Joakim Demmer’s shocking real-life thriller ‘Dead Donkeys Fear No Hyenas’ starts in apparently remote corners of Ethiopia and leads through global financial centers, right to our dining tables.
