1. Hunger is a major global issue, with someone dying of hunger every 3.6 seconds and 852 million people, or 15% of the developing world's population, being hungry. 2. Poor nutrition contributes to over half of the 10.9 million child deaths that occur each year, with malnutrition being implicated in more child deaths than any disease since the Black Death. 3. Nigeria faces a food security crisis as its population grows and becomes more reliant on imported food, while many of its rural small-scale farmers who produce over 70% of the country's food live in poverty and face malnutrition themselves due to challenges like poor tools, lack of infrastructure, and climate change impacts.
