Answer to Question 1
Although the problem of food insecurity may seem staggering both at home and abroad, it is important to remember that there is much an individual can do to take action against hunger. Despite the scope of the problem, your actions can make a difference in the lives of others. Working alone or collectively toward the elimination of hunger and malnutrition is a worthwhile (and noble) personal and professional priority. For example, most universities and colleges offer alternative spring break opportunities that organize faculty-led trips abroad. These types of volunteer experiences offer college students exceptional experiential learning opportunities that are specifically designed to help students gain global perspectives. In addition, many are designed to help poverty-stricken populations, often times in a way that improves nutritional status. Many nutrition-related academic societies also focus some of their efforts on global nutrition. For example, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) is one of several professional organizations that work to alleviate world hunger by challenging its members to take action. For instance, the AND supports a Dietetic Practice Group to encourage dietitians to work with each other and with other health professionals to reduce poverty and hunger in their communities. The American Society for Nutrition and Nevin Scrimshaw International Nutrition Foundation are other organizations committed to the development of international strategies and policies that can help alleviate hunger and poverty around the world.
