Although the 25th Annual Hunger Week comes to a close tomorrow, world hunger will remain a serious problem.Across the globe, more than 850 million people suffer from hunger, which charitable organization Bread for the World refers to as "the most extreme form of poverty."
The United Nations' food aid agency, the World Food Programme, reports hunger and malnutrition is the No. 1 risk to health worldwide - greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
