Hunger and malnutrition can be reduced through the improvements of food systems toward achieving food security, food safety, and enhancing food quality to the entire population. The prevention of food loss and waste are importance considerations in reducing the percentages of community suffering from hunger.

Therefore by being nutritious and satiety are likely linked to reduce pressure on the environment and increase work performance.

Reducing food waste and shifting dietary patterns could reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from the food system by as much as 50%. In addition, restoring biodiversity could strengthen the resilience of food systems, enabling farmers to diversify production and cope with pests, diseases and climate change. Hunger and malnutrition are issues of both quantity and quality. Climate change affects both. Studies show that higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in plants reduce their protein, zinc, and iron content. That kind of hunger results from prolonged food deprivation and manifests in weakness, pain, weight loss, impaired thinking and a compromised immune system. Starvation is the most severe form of under nutrition and can lead to permanent organ damage and death. The main environmental impacts of food insecurity are soil erosion and water pollution. Some social impacts of food insecurity are undernourishment or famine, rising food prices and civil unrest. Some environmental impacts of food insecurity are soil erosion and water pollution. Food insecurity can impact human development, influencing levels of health and education rates. Poverty is the principal cause of global hunger. The unequal distribution of income and lack of resources in developing countries means that millions of people simply cannot afford the land or farming supplies they need to grow, or otherwise gain access to nutritious food. Hunger can lead to poverty, as people may not be able to work and earn an income due to a lack of food and energy. Hunger also increases health care costs and reduces productivity, which can perpetuate poverty and inequality. It inhibits productivity, slows economic growth, and places unnecessary burdens on health and education systems. This may include, land reforms, proper guidance in agriculture to help farmers to get better yields from their lands, help in proper marketing of farm produce. We all want our families to have enough food to eat what is safe and nutritious. A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies, health, education, equality and social development. It's a key piece of building a better future for everyone. People who go hungry or suffer from malnutrition are more prone to disease and other barriers to improving their livelihoods and break the vicious cycle of poverty. To end poverty, it is essential to have access to basic amenities, especially in rural areas. Poor people will be able to work productively and emerge from poverty if they have access to food, shelter, and potable water. Better nourishment may also reduce the likelihood of conflict. Lifting people out of hunger, the most extreme form of poverty and deprivation, makes it less likely that they will be easy prey for those who seek to promote their own self-interest through conflict and civil strife. This may include, land reforms, proper guidance in agriculture to help farmers to get better yields from their lands, help in proper marketing of farm produce.

The more the demand for food and nutrition, the more effort is made like food production to meet the demand, and the more the environmental pressure.

World hunger and global food insecurity have both direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Oftentimes, the unsustainable short-term solutions people pursue to battle world hunger cheaply damage the environment the most, leading to deforestation, water pollution, and excessive carbon dioxide emissions. Reducing food loss and waste also contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as pressure on land and water resources. That kind of hunger results from prolonged food deprivation and manifests in weakness, pain, weight loss, impaired thinking and a compromised immune system. Starvation is the most severe form of under nutrition and can lead to permanent organ damage and death. There are so many factors that interfere with the nutritional status of an individual including environmental factors, environmental factors are environmental issues and components that impede or facilitate human health in nutritional perspective, they include sanitation (hand washing and latrine), climatic changes. Food production is likely to fall in response to higher temperatures, water scarcity, greater CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, and extreme events such as heat waves, droughts, and floods. Some social impacts of food insecurity are undernourishment or famine, rising food prices and civil unrest. Some environmental impacts of food insecurity are soil erosion and water pollution. Food insecurity can impact human development, influencing levels of health and education rates. Extreme weather is a driver of world hunger. As global temperatures and sea levels rise, the result is more heat waves, droughts, floods, cyclones and wildfires. Those conditions make it difficult for farmers to grow food and for the hungry to get it. The report found that these countries have seen the number of people suffering acute hunger when food is scarce more than double in the last six years to 48 million, with nearly 18 million on the brink of starvation, when people succumb to that scarcity of food. By making clear financial commitments to address extreme and chronic hunger, world leaders can bring us closer to Zero Hunger in the years and decades ahead. But money is only part of the equation and we need to transform food systems to ensure food security for all.
