The scale of the programme must be massive if it is to have a meaningful impact on reducing hunger and poverty. A plausible target is to benefit 60 million households in developing countries between now and 2015, equivalent to approximately half the number of people who are now hungry. The total cost would be about US$2.3 billion per year over 13 years.

Problem: Hungry children cannot grow and learn to their full potential. Hungry adults cannot perform hard physical labour; they fall sick more often and are more likely to die young. worse, hunger perpetuates itself when undernourished mothers give birth to smaller babies who start life with a handicap. 

Solutions

Success in reducing hunger is also likely to produce large benefits in terms of sustainable development. The economic prosperity resulting from hunger reduction should create demand for sustainable use of the environment and of common property resources. This point takes on added resonance in the context of the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg.
Better nourishment in the poor countries is likely to increase their incomes, thereby creating a new source of demand for the products of the developed countries. Better nourishment may also reduce the likelihood of conflict. Lifting people out of hunger, the most extreme form of poverty and deprivation, makes it less likely that they will be easy prey for those who seek to promote their own self-interest through conflict and civil strife. Apart from contributing to global stability, hunger reduction may also reduce the worlds expenditure on conflict prevention and rehabilitation of war-torn areas.

solution:In summary, a twin-track approach is required for quick success in reducing hunger and poverty. One track would create opportunities for the hungry to improve their livelihoods by promoting development, particularly agricultural and rural development, through policy reform and investments in agriculture.

The other track would involve direct and immediate action to fight hunger through programmes to enhance immediate access to food by the hungry, thereby increasing their productive potential and allowing them to take advantage of the opportunities offered by development. Direct action to target the hungry is also necessary because economic growth takes time to have a significant impact on hunger. Hungry people cannot wait, however, so direct and immediate action is required.

Improving the performance of small farms in poor rural and peri-urban communities offers one of the best and most sustainable avenues for reducing hunger by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of locally available food. It also provides a foundation for equitable economic growth.  better performance improves food availability and nutrition within the immediate farm families, thereby increasing their capacity to enjoy a full life, learn and work effectively and contribute to the general good of society.  and slows rural-urban migration.

to improve the life of people those that are living in an extreme poverty.

I'm doing great work to understand their need's

supported by research and extension institutions that are responsive to locally articulated needs. In many cases success also depends on developments beyond the farm boundary, such as improvements in roads or in the supply of irrigation water. The investment needs for these improvements are addressed under other programme components.

Sustaining and up scaling this process requires the emergence of self-reliant community institutions that can take the lead in ensuring the food security of all their members, plough gains new investments and develop linkages with other communities through sharing knowledge and experience. This enables groups of communities with a common goal to place increasingly effective demand on the broadening range of services and types of infrastructure required to allow them to develop greater resilience to economics. 

Also

EXPAND RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE (INCLUDING CAPACITY FOR FOOD SAFETY, 

Throughout the 1990s, many developing countries invested substantially in infrastructure. While such investments have done much to improve living standards and increase productivity, the rural areas of most developing countries still face inadequate levels of services and often a deteriorating stock of rural infrastructure. 

Problem: as i said many people in Africa are living in an extremely poverty and hunger like northern Nigeria, that's why insecurity is high rate in this zonal.

Solution

the Best solution is to help them with farm tool's and seed's and sending poor children to school who come on Road, i understood that lack of education and hunger will bring the insecurity in a country, our governments are compulsory to help the people who are living in villages, because most of the people in village are living in an extremely poverty.

My Project is  identifies urbanization issues affecting food system sustainability. Since the nineteenth century and the onset of industrialization, cities have been both the product and motor of food systems, which are expanding worldwide despite the impression that they are non sustainable. Since both the problems and resources are concentrated in cities, the latter are also a source of innovation, which can in turn help enhance the sustainability of food systems.

Smart integration of technology can help create sustainable urban food ecosystems (UFEs) for the rapidly expanding urban population in the developing world. Technology, especially recent advances in digital-enabled devices based on internet connectivity, are essential for building UFEs at a time when food production is increasingly limited on a global scale by the availability of land, water, and energy. By 2050, two-thirds of the world will be urban and most of the net world population growth will occur in urban regions in the developing world. 

Because 

Millions live with hunger and malnourishment because they simply cannot afford to buy enough food, cannot afford nutritious foods or cannot afford the farming supplies they need to grow enough good food of their own. Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty. It is often called the most severe and critical manifestation of poverty.

The way to end the hunger focus on issues of hunger, nutrition, and food security.
Required Components of a Comprehensive Strategy to Alleviate World Hunger
The components of a comprehensive federal strategy to alleviate world hunger and promote food security require, first, a well-managed emergency response capability. Second, a comprehensive strategy must include safety nets, social protection, and the reduction of the risk of disaster. Two types of nutrition programs are required: one that focuses on mothers and children, emphasizing comprehensive nutrition before the age of 2; the other incorporates nutrition across the board in all food security programs. Finally, market-based agriculture and the infrastructure necessary for its development must be in place. In all of these areas, the Roadmap proposes a special emphasis on and sensitivity to the centrality of women in securing sustainable food security, increased agricultural development and productivity, and the reduction of malnutrition, undernutrition, and hunger.

Dependency on arable land

to decrease oil dependency

Long a critical sector for the Nigerian economy, agriculture recorded steady growth throughout the country’s recent recession and supported macroeconomic stability against a backdrop of volatility in the global oil market. Although the sector’s workforce, exports and GDP contribution have fallen in recent decades as oil and gas production became Nigeria’s economic mainstay, the country is home to vast amounts of arable land and a large, diverse production base that includes many high-value cash crops, offering significant opportunity for development and investment.

By preventing malnutrition

Good nutrition is the bedrock of child survival and child development. Well-nourished children are better able to grow and learn, to participate in their communities, and to be resilient in the face of disease or disaster.

Because Every day, nearly 7,500 children under age 5 die from malnutrition. And for millions of children, chronic malnutrition will result in stunting  an irreversible condition that literally stunts their physical and mental growth.

I want Overall, investments in agricultural development  to have declined because Historically, rural poverty decreased and agricultural productivity increased with (1) better education, (2) new technologies, and (3) investment. It is essential that the recent trend toward providing food aid at the expense of investing in agricultural research and development be reversed.

Unfortunately, many well-meaning people around the world today believe that genetically modified crops are dangerous. What this means for the present is that modern science cannot be used to improve crops in many countries, including most of Africa. Although the U.S. regulatory apparatus is not completely prohibitive, it is dauntingly complex and so expensive that public-sector researchers have largely turned away from molecular crop improvement. Progress needs to be made in moving toward a regulatory framework that is based on actual risks and real scientific evidence, not hypothetical risks and popular fears.

By supporting Agricultural productivity needs to increase to feed the world: GAP Report
At current rates of productivity growth, by 2030, sub-Saharan Africa will meet only 8% of its food demand through productivity growth and South Asia will meet only 25% of its food demand through productivity growth.
Global agricultural productivity growth is not accelerating fast enough to sustainably feed the world in 2050, says a report by the Global Harvest Initiative (GHI) released today.

GHIs 8th annual Global Agricultural Productivity Report: A World of Productive Sustainable Agriculture warns that unless this trend is reversed, the world may not be able to sustainably provide the food, feed, fiber and bio fuels needed for a growing, more affluent global population.

I will do best to recruit many jobless to take fish farming, chickens farming and cow farming as business.

FOOD DIVERSITY
Ensuring food security, adapting to climate change, reducing environmental degradation, protecting nutritional security, reducing poverty and ensuring sustainable agriculture are just six reasons why it matters to conserve crop diversity.

Ensuring Food Security
The concept of food security is 
The fight to achieve food security and end hunger is one of the greatest challenges facing the world. Rising populations, diminishing resources and deteriorating environments only raise the stakes. A greater diversity of genetic resources in gene banks, available to all through an efficient, global, conservation system, helps to ensure a secure food supply at more stable prices. 

RURAL INVESTMENT

The sustainability and inequities of our food system have never been more glaring, particularly at this time when food stores have been deemed essential businesses and are lifelines for our communities,  of Reinvestment Fund. Investing in a resilient and just food system is vital for our nation and that includes the small businesses and essential workers that build and sustain our rural food economy.
Communities, policymakers, investment practitioners, and food access advocates can use the analysis to identify opportunities for investing in solutions to address the gaps in rural food access. This could include small-scale retail solutions, food supply chain interventions, and investing in existing stores to preserve food access.

SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION
Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world's fast growing population is a major challenge. Food production is one of the key areas that require action, alongside issues of food consumption, nutrition and food security.
It is estimated that by 2050 the world's population will reach 9.1 billion (34% higher than today). Food production will need to increase by 70% to feed the larger 

Use natural resources efficiently
Reduce use of fossil fuels and optimise water use in production.
Optimise land use and reduce the conversion of land for agriculture.
Design energy and water efficient food manufacturing sites.
Protect the quality of natural resources
Appropriate use of fertilisers and pesticides to avoid pollution of soils and waterways.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help maintain air quality.
Reverse soil loss and restore organic matter content in soils.
