Two ways to play:
1) Give each team a different noise (Moo!, Ding!, etc) or a noise-maker
(bell, horn, drum) to signal their answer – first team to sound out AFTER
the clue has been read gets the first chance to answer.
2) The team that selected the question is given 15 seconds to answer,
after which the other teams can ‘steal’ the points if they answer
correctly.

Hunger 100
THIS is the world’s #1 health risk,
affecting more people every year
than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis
combined.
Hunger
Hunger 200
THIS PROPORTION of the world’s
people live in chronic hunger.
1/8th
Hunger 300
Because they are not ingesting sufficient
nutrients, people suffering from THIS are
weaker, less able to focus, and cannot
work as hard as those who are well fed,
which contributes to the cycle of poverty.
Malnutrition
Hunger 400
Despite growing 80% of staple food
in Africa, women own
THIS PERCENTAGE of the land.
1%
Hunger 500
THIS is the right of peoples to healthy and
culturally appropriate food, produced in
ecologically sound and sustainable
methods, and their right to define their
own food and agriculture systems.
Food Sovereignty
(Definition taken from the 2007 Declaration of Nyéléni)
Food Production 100
Products with THIS label ensure
farmers receive a fair wage
for their work.
The Fair Trade label, such as:
Food Production 200
Industrial agriculture and industrial food
systems produce THIS PERCENTAGE
of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.
50%!
Industrial farming requires greater
equipment, more processing and more
transportation than small-scale farming.
Food Production 300
Having been a staple food in Bolivia and Peru
for centuries, the international popularity of
THIS nutrient-rich ‘superfood’ has raised both
farmers’ incomes and the price of this food
beyond what they can afford, causing them
to turn to other cheaper, more processed, and
less nutritious foods.
Quinoa
Food Production 400
In the Global South, THIS PERCENTAGE of
women work in the agricultural sector
and in food production.
79%
Food Production 500
THIS KIND of seed is bred by crossing plants so
that the characteristics sought only appear in
the first harvest, so farmers cannot save seeds.
To resow, they have to purchase the seed
every year.
Hybrid seeds
Food Facts 100
THIS PORTION of the world’s food
is wasted every year.
1/3
YES… ONE THIRD!!
Food Facts 200
Canada produces more than 1 million kg of
THIS CEREAL GRAIN, by harvesting the wild
plant from Great Lakes region through to
Saskatchewan.
Wild Rice
Wild rice grows in shallow waters of slow-moving
rivers and bays, and so in order to preserve this
environment, the provincial law of Saskatchewan
forbids the use of commercial fertilizers, herbicides
or insecticides to enhance production.
Rice is cultivated in over 100 countries, and is
produced on every continent, except Antarctica.
Food Facts 300
Because of the increasing
commodification of seeds, the world
has lost almost THIS PERCENTAGE of
crop varieties.
Nearly 75%!
In North America, we have already lost
90% of our fruit and vegetable varieties
in the last century!
Food Facts 400
The banana does not actually grow
on a tree, but on the world’s largest
form of THIS type of plant.
It’s a herb!
Food Facts 500
Though there are more than 50,000
edible plants in the world, THIS MANY
of them provide 90% of the world’s
caloric intake.
15
Only 3 (rice, wheat and
corn/maize) make up 2/3 of
the 90%
Causes of Hunger 100
THIS seemingly uncontrollable
contributor to hunger can disrupt
food production systems and cause
food insecurity around the world.
Changing Weather Patterns
Also:
- Climate change
- Extreme weather events
- Floods, severe storms, droughts, etc.
Causes of Hunger 200
When crops fail, hungry farmers may do
THIS in order to afford food, which reduces
other long-term income sources and slows
the farm’s recovery after a drought.
Selling (any of the following)
- livestock
- land
- agricultural tools
- household items
Causes of Hunger 300
In any of THESE situations, governments often
divert money from food and development
programmes to other priorities. (name one)




Economic Crisis / Recession
Civil conflict or war
World event (e.g. Olympics)
Investment choice (such as diverting
funds to expand another industry)
 Public concern on another issue
Causes of Hunger 400
TWO OF THE FACTORS which contribute
to more women being hungry than men.




Higher nutritional needs when pregnant or nursing
Women are more likely to eat less in order to feed their children
Fewer women own the land or livestock they work
Inequality, in any of these forms:
• Female farmers have fewer rights than male farmers
• Female farmers have less access to resources
such as education, credit and financial
services than male farmers
Because of the above, women are less likely to
adopt new technologies or techniques
Causes of Hunger 500
It is important to protect THIS TYPE OF DIVERSITY,
as natural seeds adapt over time to climate
change, disease, and to local conditions,
ensuring our capacity to produce food in the
future.
Biodiversity,
or the diversity of seeds
Solutions 100
THIS TYPE OF FARMING is already feeding half of
the world’s population, and is seen as the single
biggest opportunity to reduce hunger and
poverty, and to increase land productivity.
Small-scale family farming /
peasant farming
For example, Canadian agriculture is still dominated by
small-scale, family-owned and operated enterprises.
Large, corporate farms (those earning over $1B/year)
make up less than 5 percent of Canadian farms.
Solutions 200
THESE SEEDS are gaining more attention
recently as a way to encourage diversity of
plants – they generally originated prior to 1951
(when plant hybridization became popular),
have adapted to local conditions to resist
disease and provide heavy yields, and are
open-pollinated.
Heritage seeds
Sometimes also called
‘Heirloom seeds’
Solutions 300
In the hands of THESE PEOPLE, family
income improves, children’s health and
nutrition improve, and because when their
access to productive resources increase
the crop yields can increase from 20-30%.
Women!
Solutions 400
We have to call on THIS BODY to tackle the
challenge of protecting farmer’s rights and
biodiversity, because it has an important role
to play in creating domestic laws and
international agreements that can either
protect or remove the right of family farmers to
preserve and sow their seeds.
Our government
Solutions 500
We can all choose to buy food from THESE
SOURCES, contributing to local sustainable
development rather than to multinational
profit, and reducing our environmental
footprint.
