HUNGER IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

Hunger has both surreptitiously and perspicuously ravaged the human population worldwide. 
The ingestion of adequate and nutritious food is the essential ingredient for growth and 
development as well as the major panacea to curb hunger and strife. COVID-19 has ushered in a 
unique dimension whereby private and public institutions advocate sustainable trajectories by 
making appropriate choices designed to encourage empowerment and justice to overcome 
hunger worldwide. Prior to the advent of COVID-19, sustainable policies advocated expansive 
conceptual fields involving the individual, nuclear and extended family, governance and 
administration as well as Society at large because hunger has incessantly been widespread and 
detrimental to human welfare and well-being. Persons who are always hungry are the extremely 
poor and vulnerable populations with perspicuous chronic hunger. In order to circumvent the 
devastating effects of hunger, it is pertinent to demonstrate behavioural changes, develop and 
enhance literacy and sustainable skills.
