Approximately 7,560,000 die per year from world hunger. or 21,000 per day, 875 per hour, 14 per minute, or one person. about every 4 seconds. About 1 in every 950 people die due to lack of dietary needs. However we grow enough food to feed 10 billion people yet people still starve to death. There’s many reasons this happens from economics, to poor food safety. The status quo though could easily be changed.
