Few years ago UN set Millennium Development Goals, one of the goals was eradicating extreme poverty  and  hunger  till  2015  as  the  main  key  of  development.  Meanwhile  the  world  is  facing  with extreme  poverty  and  hunger,  world  can’t  move  forward.  World  is  facing  with  situation  when  one  in seven people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life, 98% of extreme hunger live in developing country.
In  the  world  there  is  enough  food,  but  in  the  world  still  925  million  people  in  the world  are hungry.  Why  does  world  hunger  exist?  Many  passed  problems  and  current  problems,  make  this  hard problem  to  be  resolved.  Economic  factors  cause  situation  of  luck  of  money  to  buy  or  produce enough food, problems that farmers often can’t afford seeds to plant in order to provide their families with food    Natural  disasters,  environmental  challenges,  wars,  luck  of  agricultural  infrastructure,  transport  costs, lack of storage facilities and unreliable water supplies, conspire limited agricultural yields and access to food.   Nowadays,  finding  common  solution  is  more  than  important.  Many  countries  are  trying  to  find solution  in  order  to  decrease  hunger  and  trying  to  provide  food  for  their  families.
There  are  a  lot  of methods and initiative to decrease extreme poverty and hunger, what we need to do is to unite nation and  to  make  that  happen.  We  are  facing  situation  where  we  trying  to  sustain  world  existence,  and  in that  sense  we  need  first  to  start  to  fight  against  hunger,  there  is  no  space  for  selfish  and  stubborn countries, for that we need to engage all countries.
