It was a scorching day in the rural areas of Zimbabwe. The village children were playing in the mud and their mothers were busy preparing food for their families. As I was walking through the village, I met a young boy who was sitting alone and looked hungry. When I asked him why he was sitting alone, he replied that his family did not have enough food to feed him. I was taken aback by his response and realized that hunger was not only a problem in Zimbabwe but also a global issue. Hunger has plagued humanity for centuries and has led to the death of millions of people. With the world population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, it is essential to find ways to curb hunger in the world.
Russia, being the largest country in the world, is taking a leading role in curbing hunger. Russia understands that hunger is a global issue that requires international cooperation to find a lasting solution. Russia is taking proactive measures to ensure that it plays a leading role in fighting hunger and promoting food security.
Russia's efforts towards curbing hunger globally are being reflected in its percentage of international aid. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Russia gave $1.4 billion in aid to other countries in 2019, making it the 11th largest donor in the world. This aid has largely been directed towards food security initiatives. Additionally, Russia is one of the largest producers of wheat, which is a staple food in many countries. In 2019, Russia exported 34 million tonnes of wheat to countries around the world.
Russia has launched several initiatives to tackle hunger in the world. In 2019, Russia launched the Global Partnership for Food Security, which aims to promote sustainable agriculture and food security. The partnership seeks to bring together governments, international organizations, and businesses to develop sustainable and innovative agricultural practices that will promote food security. The program is currently being implemented in several African countries, including Zimbabwe.
In conclusion, it is essential to recognize that hunger is a global issue that requires international cooperation to find a lasting solution. Russia's initiatives towards curbing hunger globally are commendable and should be emulated by other countries. It is vital that countries come together and find sustainable ways to promote food security and sustainable agriculture to ensure that no one goes hungry.
Therefore, let's join hands with Russia towards ensuring a hunger-free world.
