"As the millennium draws to a close, memories of the appalling man-made famine in southern Sudan last year are hard to erase. Even as this issue of Field Exchange goes to press, thousands of Angolans teeter on the edge of starvation; pawns in a long and brutal civil war over which they have little control. Famines have occurred with monotonous frequency throughout the 20th century despite enormous technological, economic and social advances - the Ukraine famine in the 1930s, the Bengal and Dutch famines of the 1940s, the great China famine of the 1950s, Biafra in the late 1960s, famines in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan in the 1970s-90s. There are many others, though perhaps lesser known. What most of these famines have in common is a shared cause; they were all created by man. Some of the man-made famines of this century are described below. The accounts are stark, harrowing and shameful. Yet their causes and impact bear striking similarities to the famines of today."

"Life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa is barely 48 years. That is 30 years less than in the developed countries.
 
The Richest 16% of the World Uses 80% of Earth's Natural Resources
  
That's the estimated toll the wealthiest populations on the globe -- the United States,
Europe and Japan -- are taking from the earth's natural bounty to sustain their way of
Life. In the U.S. Alone, says Emily Matthews of the World Resources Institute, every
Man, woman and child is responsible for the consumption of about 25 tons of raw
Materials each year.
 
How many people go to bed hungry? "More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World."
 
More than 800 million people still suffer from hunger or diseases associated with undernourishment, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said in its annual report.
