Hello, I'm Mrs. Lomas and I am a primary school teacher who loves teaching geography.

So I'm really excited to be joining you for today's geography lesson.

So shall we find out what we're gonna be doing today? So in today's lesson, we're going to be looking at world food supplies, which is part of our Farms and Factories, Where Does Our Food Come From Unit.

And by the end of today's lesson, you will be able to explain reasons why some people don't have enough to eat and share your opinions about potential actions that can be taken to help end world hunger.

We have some key keywords in today's lesson, and they are malnutrition, starvation, climate change, poverty.

Let's do some my turn, your turn.

Malnutrition, starvation, climate change, poverty.

Well done, let's find out what these words mean.

Malnutrition is caused by not having enough of the right foods that your body needs to be healthy.

Starvation is suffering or death caused by having not enough or nothing to eat.

Climate change is a large scale and long-term change in the planet's climate, including weather patterns and average temperatures.

Poverty is not having enough money to afford basic human needs, such as food, clothing, or somewhere to live.

So look out for those words in our lesson today.

So our lesson on world food supplies is split into three parts today.

Why do people go hungry, causes and consequences of hunger and actions against hunger.

So let's start with why do people go hungry? In this lesson, we are going to be thinking about why some people don't have enough food to eat.

Everyone feels hungry sometimes.

When people feel hungry, it is the body telling them that they need to eat.

Some people don't have enough to eat and may go whole days at a time without enough to eat.

Those people suffer from hunger.

Reaching zero hunger is one of the sustainable development goals, the 17 goals that many governments are working towards to help make our world a better place by 2030.

The world has made a lot of progress in recent decades in reducing global hunger, but we are still very far away from achieving this goal.

Almost one in 10 people in the world go to bed hungry every night.

So there's 10 people, and that would mean that one person would be going hungry tonight.

This means that they don't have enough food to provide the energy needed to have a normal, active and healthy life.

Hunger can cause people to suffer from malnutrition or starvation.

One in seven people living in the UK are experiencing food insecurity.

This means that they are going without food or having to cut back on the quality or amount of food they eat because of a lack of money.

Being hungry doesn't just happen.

It is usually the result of one or more causes.

Think about what might stop someone being able to buy or grow enough food to eat.

Maybe they don't have enough money, there are transport problems or there's bad weather.

Let's do a quick check.

What percentage of people in the world go to bed hungry every night? A, 5%, B, 10%, C, 15%, or D, 20%? So what percentage of people in the world go to bed hungry every night? A, 5%, B, 10%, C, 15%, or D, 20%? Pause the video, have a go and come back to check your answer.

How did you get on? If you said that it was B, 10%, you'd be correct, well done.

So here is your first task.

Read these different statements from some people who are experiencing hunger.

Think about what has caused each person to go hungry and talk to a partner about your ideas.

Here are the statements.

"We get much less rain than we used to in the past.

"This is making it difficult to grow our crops." "Fighting in my country meant that we had to leave our home "and move somewhere else." "The price of many items in the supermarket "is going up and up.

"We can't afford to buy as much food as we used to." "I work long hours, but I don't earn enough money "to pay for everything we need.

"Some days I go hungry so that there is enough food "for my children to eat." "Our region was badly flooded.

"Many homes, farms, and roads were damaged." So I want you to talk to your partners about what you think has caused these issues for these people.

Pause the video, have a go, and then we'll have a look when you get back.

How did you get on? So here's some of the reasons behind what those people were saying.

Low wages, climate change, disasters, conflict, poverty and rising food prices.

So we've had a look at why do people go hungry.

Now let's have a look at the causes and consequences of hunger.

There are different possible causes of hunger.

Extreme natural events can have severe impact on people and cause a disaster.

Such events could be earthquakes, landslide, cyclone, flooding, drought, wildfire, volcanic eruption, or a snow blizzard.

How might disasters result in people going hungry? Pause the video, have a class discussion and come back when you are ready.

Disasters might force people to leave their homes or their farms, destroy farmland, damage or block roads and railways that are used to deliver food to where people live or cause the closure of shops and disrupt food supplies.

Pakistan in South Asia has been hit by severe floods in recent years.

Flooding often happens here during the monsoon season when there is heavy rainfall.

Climate change is causing this flooding to happen more often and become more severe.

And here's Pakistan on a map.

Floods have washed away roads, homes, crops and livestock.

Millions of people have been left without shelter.

Which of the following is not an effect of a disaster? A, people having to leave their homes, B, earthquake damage to roads, C, climate change, or D, disruption to food supplies? Which of the following is not an effect of a disaster? A, people having to leave their homes, B, earthquake damage to roads, C, climate change, or D, disruption to food supplies? Pause the video, have a go, and when you're ready, come back and check your answers.

How did you get on? If you said that it was C, climate change that is not an effect of a disaster, you'd be correct, well done.

Climate change is also a cause of world hunger, however.

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.

Temperatures are rising and rainfall is becoming more unpredictable.

This can make it difficult for farmers to grow crops to sell or eat.

It can cause the prices of food to increase, which makes it difficult for other people to buy enough food to eat.

Although climate change is affecting everyone, it's impacting some people more than others.

Who you are, where you live in the world and the resources you have affects how much you are impacted by climate change.

It's often the people who have done the least to cause climate change who are being affected the most.

So let's do a quick check, true or false, climate change affects everyone in the same way? Once you've decided if that is true or false, I want you to justify your answer with either A or B.

A, only a few people are being affected by climate change or B, although climate change affects everyone, some people are being impacted more than others.

So true or false, climate change affects everyone in the same way, and then justify your answer with either A, only a few people are being affected by climate change, or B, although climate change affects everyone, some people are being impacted more than others.

Pause the video, collect your answers, and come back when you're ready to check.

How did you get on? if you said that it was false because although climate change affects everyone, some people are being impacted more than others, which is B, you'd be correct, well done.

Another cause of hunger is conflict.

Many people are forced to flee their homes each year because of conflict.

People might have to move somewhere else in the same country or to another country.

It might be difficult to find somewhere to live and work, which can lead to people going hungry.

Our world is very unequal, and this is another cause of hunger.

Wealth, opportunities and power aren't fairly shared out between and within countries.

There are lots of different ways in which people's lives are unequal.

For example, some people are very rich and some people live in poverty.

The rising cost of living means that more and more people are struggling to buy or grow enough food to eat.

Have a look at this photo here.

Can you see different types of housing? Do you think that some people in this photo live in poverty and some people actually have quite a lot of money? And yet they're so close to each other.

Pause the video, have a good exploration of the photo, and then come back when you're ready.

How did you get on? Fascinating photo, isn't it? To see the poverty and the incredibly wealthy living so close to each other.

Millions of people are facing extreme hunger because of climate change, conflict and the rising cost of living.

There are people without enough food to eat all over the world, but there are more people going hungry in some countries than in others.

And if we have a look at this map, we can see yellow is low, moderate is light orange, serious is middle orange, alarming is dark orange and extremely alarming is red.

And if there's no data, it's grey stripes.

So take a minute, pause the video and explore that map.

Okay, let's do a quick check.

Name a possible cause of hunger.

Pause the video and come back when you're ready to check your answers.

How did you get on? If you said any of these, you would've been correct.

There's disaster, climate change, conflict, and an unequal world.

So are you ready for Task B? Hunger is usually the result of a set of causes.

Think about how flooding in Pakistan might lead to people going hungry, cut out the events and put them in the order that might lead to this consequence.

So you have remaining food is used up, flash floods ruin the rice crop, some people suffer from malnutrition or starve, the monsoon season arrives, no seeds are left to plant the following year, no money to buy food or pay school fees, no rice to sell, some people go hungry, very little rice is harvested.

So cut out these events and put them in the order that might lead to the consequence of people going hungry.

Pause the video, have a go, and then when you're ready, come back and check your answers.

How did you get on? Here's the correct order.

One, the monsoon season arrives, two, flash floods ruin the rice crop, three, very little rice is harvested, four, no rice to sell, five, no money to buy food or pay school fees, six, remaining food is used up, seven, some people go hungry, eight, some people suffer from malnutrition or starve, and nine, no seeds are left to plant the following year.

If you didn't quite get it in the right order, now is your chance to make any changes that you need to do.

Pause the video and come back when you're ready.

So we've looked at why do people go hungry and the causes and consequences of hunger.

Now we're going to have a look at actions against hunger.

The world produces enough food for everyone, but one in 10 people are going hungry.

We have learned that hunger is usually caused by a set of causes.

There are also different ways of taking action to end world hunger.

Some actions are short-term.

This means that they need to take place quickly and their effects don't usually last for long.

A short-term solution to people facing hunger because of flooding or an earthquake could be providing emergency food parcels, which you can see in this photograph here.

Some actions are longer term.

They will continue to help people in the future.

What might be a longer term action to help farmers finding it difficult to grow their crops because of unpredictable rainfall? Pause the video, have a class discussion and come back when you're ready.

Possible actions might be planting different crops that are more resistant to drought or building a well to get water to irrigate crops.

Some ways of action try to tackle the causes of people going hungry in the first place.

These might be taking action against climate change or making food systems fairer.

Time for a quick check, true or false, short-term aid is the only way to take action against the causes of people going hungry? Once you've decided if this is true or false, you need to justify your answer with either A or B.

A, there are many different ways of taking action against hunger, but they are all long-term, B, taking action to tackle the causes of hunger can include short-term aid, as well as longer term changes to farming and tackling climate change.

So one more time, decide if this statement is true or false, short-term aid is the only way to take action against the causes of people going hungry.

Once you've decided if this is true or false, justify your answer using either A, there are many different ways of taking action against hunger, but they are all long-term, or B, taking action to tackle the causes of hunger can include short-term aid as well as longer term changes to farming and tackling climate change.

Pause the video, collect your answers, and come back when you're ready to check.

How did you get on? If you said it was false because B, taking action to tackle the causes of hunger can include short-term aid as well as longer term changes to farming and tackling climate change, you'd be correct, well done.

So let's have a go at Task C.

Work as a group to cut out and sort the possible actions against hunger into a diamond shape.

Place the action you think is the most important at the top and the least important action at the bottom.

There are no right or wrong answers.

It is up to you to decide as a group how to rank the actions as you think best.

Share your ranking with others and explain the reasons for the choices you have made.

There is an example here on the screen with one at the top, then two, then three, then two, then one.

You might decide that actually there are three in the second row or four in the middle row.

So long as you can justify your answers, that's absolutely fine.

And here are the actions, distributing emergency food parcels to people after an earthquake, taking action against climate change, forming a fair trade cooperative so farmers get a fairer price for the crops they grow, setting up a food bank to give out food, providing drought and disease resistant seeds to farmers, calling for peace to end conflict, building better flood defences, making school meals free for everyone, setting up a community savings group so people have money to fall back on if crops fail.

So in your group, cut them out and rank them in a diamond nine from most important to least important.

And share your rankings with the rest of your class.

Pause the video and when you're ready, come back.

So here are some example opinions.

I think that taking action against climate change is the most important as this will help to stop people getting hungry in the first place.

I think that giving out emergency food parcels is the most important as it helps people to eat straight away.

I think forming a fair trade cooperative is the most important, as it will mean that farmers will be paid more fairly and have more money to grow and buy food to eat.

Did you change your mind about your rankings after hearing some other opinions from the rest of your class? So let's summarise what we've learned today.

The causes of insufficient access to food are complex.

Hunger can happen to people in both low and high income countries, but there are more people going hungry in some parts of the world than others.

There are different ways to take action against hunger.

Some of these are short-term and some are long-term.

Well done for working so hard in today's lesson.

There was a lot of information and quite a lot to think about, wasn't there? So I hope to see you again for another geography lesson soon, goodbye.
