According to the World Health Organisation, 45% of global deaths of children under 5 are caused by poor nutrition.
In this episode, Carrie Grant is joined by Teleri Jardine from World Vision and Rebecca O’Connell, Professor of Food, Families and Society at the University of Hertfordshire, to examine the root causes of food insecurity across the world.
We also hear from 16-year-old Lukman in Bangladesh who sets out how a lack of food can affect not only a child’s education but why it can also lead to child marriage and teenage pregnancy, as he shares the tragic story of his young neighbour.
And we return to Sierra Leone as Carrie chats to Tejan, who describes what it feels like to be hungry.
Rebecca explains the mental and physical effects of poor nutrition and tells us why the health issues related to food insecurity are not just a problem in low-income countries, along with what needs to happen to ensure more equitable access to global food resources.
Teleri shares how World Vision’s ‘Enough’ campaign is working to end child hunger and how the charity is supporting young activists to raise their voices in the political arena, with the aim of making sustainable change.
