Annotated Bibliography

The University of Texas at El Paso is just a few minutes away from Mexico which has

brought together some issues and one of them is including malnutrition. Even though El Paso

offers many help benefits for people who experience food insecurity, there are still people in the

United States who suffer from hunger. To my understanding, hunger is when people face an

insufficient measure of food, because of shortage of money or other resources. As an Education

major, I want to know if the education program at the university is doing anything concerning the

people who suffer from food insecurity, and if there are students in the education program who

are affected by hunger. Are there any organizations, programs, or even meetings that take place

here at UTEP concentrating on hunger? I hope to discover that UTEP does do a great deal for our

students who come starving to school and have or are currently having issues with food

insecurity. I believe that good health is needed to be energetic and capable of learning and I

really hope students in my college have sufficient food to have a bright experience in school.

There should be more organizations in my university to not only help students in a positive way

but also in an emotional way.

Research Questions

1. What does hunger look like in my community in the University of Texas at El Paso

2. Are there organizations in UTEP that are specifically for students who suffer from

hunger?

Cady, C. (2016). Starving for Knowledge: Why Campuses Need to Address Student Food

Insecurity. About Campus, 21(2), 27-31. doi:10.1002/abc.21238

Cady has based her article defending how to her it is important for campuses to address

food insecurity among students because hunger impacts learning outcomes as well as

student and community wellness. Also, this article has a big impact and well talks about

how struggles of students who are experiencing food insecurity are from challenges like

low family income, lack of financial aid, high tuition and cost of living, or personal

emergencies. The author has explained and given different examples of people who

experience hunger and she has created her opinions on why she thinks they face hunger.

Not only did she do her research, but she talked about food pantries which can serve

thousands of students. The author claimed how food insecurity is a symptom of a larger

social illness, poverty, which also needs to be addressed. In this article, the main point is

the importance of teaching students to learn about hunger because it is a problem today,

and for students to learn of help programs that are open to students.

According to Mears, there are other things that can feed us, and hunger that feeds itself.

Mears explained the different kinds of hunger which in her opinion does not only

include food but also, other things like love, friendships and desire. Mears had

given examples of what different type of experiences or things can make someone feel

full. The author gave examples of people to help the reader personally understand what

other people have gone through. This detailed analysis on Hunger can help people learn

about how people can have different ideas of what hunger really is.

Orr Boyd, J. (1953) The White Man’s Dilemma New York:Barnes & Noble

According to Orr the success of the freedom from hunger campaign shows that the people

are willing to follow government if they will take the initiative to a new era of peace. Orr

strongly argues what he thinks could be the right thing for the new world to make for the

world to help each other. Orr has studied a lot about food problems in the word, and

everything that surrounds it for example population, birth control, organizations, and

more. Orr believes that the main focus should be on the new techniques given to the

world if we want to become better and help each other. This book can help the readers

understand the concept of hunger and emotion towards the out world.

According to the authors, Hunger, a more severe form of food insecurity, may occur

when the members of a household start to skip meals or decrease their total food intake

due to the decreased food supply available to them. In this article a study was done to

households which have been living on the U.S. Mexico border. Based on the study done,

this article focused on how the prevalence of food insecurity in Hispanics and other low-

income minority groups were at least double and the national average was made. In this

article it gave the methods, materials, data analysis, data collection, and the results of the

people who were observed. This articles main focus was to come up with an answer of

how many people were affected by hunger on the U.S Mexico border. This case study can

help people understand the struggles of being in the border and understand what really

means to live with food insecurity.

Shetty, P. From food security to food and nutrition security: role of agriculture and farming

Systems for nutrition. Current Science, 109(3), 456-461.

According to Prakash nutrition security, a later development was a much broader concept

since nutritious and safe diets alongside adequate biological and proper social

environments ensures appropriate growth and development in childhood and helps

promote heath and prevent disease in adulthood. has written an article about how farming

systems can affect food security and nutrition security as well. Prakash has focused her

article talking about the research she has done on how people can increase farming

methods so that way people do not have to face hunger. Also, Prakash has focused some

of her article on some historical perspectives that today can still be used concerning

farming. In this article one of the biggest concepts were that food security has evolved

over time since the World War two and has changed according to the changing views

expressed at the time and through a sequence of definitions. As to defend her statements

the method Prakash used was that she had given many information that can defend her

statements and used resources to look deeper into hunger and farming. From this article,

people can learn methods to Farming and see how hunger can be eliminated but also, see

how people in this world are well concerned about methods to farm and want to show

their points of view.

According to Waltner and Lang the rise, shape, and sustainability of human civilizations

in the past ten centuries can redirect inked to our agriculture strategies that is how we

feed ourselves. The authors have talked about getting deep in a background of food,

health, agriculture, and farming and how all of those created what today is when people

face hunger. The authors have focused on the natural data of how many people live in this

world and how much food are farmed. The authors did their own research on the kinds of

agriculture being promoted by global traders tends to be energy inefficient and have used

that information logically to people facing hunger. The authors have also made research

in many kinds of companies and talked about what each company offers and based on the

information they have done science in this article to proof what they have learned. From

this article people can increase their knowledge on how many kinds of farming there are

and how they affect people with hunger.

origin consumed in the Netherlands during World War II. Journal of Ethnobiology and

Ethno medicine, 13(1),63. doi:10.1186/s13002-017-0190-7

Vortenbosh, Zwarte, Duistermaat,and Andel argue that during periods of severe hunger,

people resort to unconventional food that they do not or hardly eat in “normal” times, so

caed- famine or emergency foods. The authors have focused their topic in this article on

how one third of people on world war two faced hunger. This article has been mostly

focused on the interviews which were made 71 years later after the Second World War.

Hunger was still remembered after seven decades and the authors talk about how they

interviewed people who were still left and questions asked. This article has included data

collection and the methods that have been done, the results, the data analysis and their

discussion. The authors clearly conclude that their research shows that once crucial

knowledge on wild plants and hunger is still present with the left survivors on the World

War two. From this article, people can gain more knowledge on how people on the World

War not only faced the fear of war but also suffered from food insecurity.

Weinreb, L.et al. (2002). Hunger: It’s Impact on Children’s Health and Mental Health.Pediatrics,

110 (4). doi:10.1542/peds.110.4e41

According to the author’s, hunger, with its associated adverse consequences for children,

continues to be an important national problem. The author’s main focus was about the

observational study they had done on 408 children in Massachusetts to analyze how

many of them suffer from serious hunger. What the authors talk about is the process they

had done and the data collection they achieved, and the questions that were asked to the

children. At the end, the article focused on how the study went beyond previous research,

identifying the separate effect of child hunger on of the children lived through which

turned out that the mothers of this children who reported severe hunger were more likely

to have a lifetime diagnosis of posttraumatic children get affected mentally and

physically by hunger but also it can help people appreciate food and gain knowledge on

what people around the world suffer from hunger.
