   We all want our families to have enough food to eat that 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. Additionally, with hunger limiting human development, we will not be able to achieve the other sustainable development goals such as education, health and gender equality.So,my topic for this journal is tell the truth of what happened and give some opinion to overcome this problem from happening again. I hope this can open the reader's eyes so that they can be more aware of the changes in public welfare in the world and in their own country

      As you can see the picture above,we can conclude that the hunger peoples is very poor and disabled.New evidence continues to signal that the number of hungry people in the world is growing,reaching 821 million in 2017 or one in every nine people.Hunger has been on the rise over the past three year,returning to levels from a decade ago.This reversal in progress sends a clear warning that more must be done and urgently if the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger is to be achieved by 2030.The situation is worsening in South America and most regions of Africa.With enough food to feed everyone on the planet,why are these so many hungry people?

      For a closer look, let's look at our own country, the average population living in the city suffers from a lack of daily food. This is because the high cost of living in the city causes them to not be able to buy daily food so some are willing to beg on the side of the road to get money and fill their own bellies. This matter is very sad because it concerns the people and our own people. Based on the experience I got from following the people's welfare campaign, I have followed several agencies that provide daily food assistance to the people who affected in urban areas. I feel very sad to see their very difficult situation, we give each family staple food such as rice, oil, flour, sugar and so on so that we can help them survive in their lives in the future. I continued to look for residents who were suffering from a food crisis. Finally we got news that there was a flat house in Pasir Gudang Johor suffering from a food and water crisis there. We continued to rush there with enough supplies. We felt great sympathy for the children who were still in school.They told us that every day they are hungry at school because there is no food in their house for breakfast. We continue to report this to the school so that they can help these affected children with breakfast every day at school. This is very important because they will experience hardship when they are hungry in class. They will lack focus and may fall ill. How does our society want to produce excellent students if things like this are still not emphasized?

    So here, I would like to give some opinion to overcome this problem. You can make changes in your own life at home, at work and in the community by supporting local farmers or markets and making sustainable food choices, supporting good nutrition for all, and fighting food waste. You can also use your power as a consumer and voter, demanding businesses and governments make the choices and changes that will make Zero Hunger a reality. Join the conversation, whether on social media platforms or in your local communities. We need to always pay attention to the news that has been released in the media about the people who are experiencing this food crisis. If there is, show an attitude of concern in ourselves to help them. InshaAllah we will definitely receive the good service in return in the coming days.

    So that's all I can share about my experience and opinion in this journal. I hope that my writing can have a positive impact on all people who read this journal. May Allah bless all of your lives.
