  1. From hunger to harvest

  2. how can poor people overcome hunger? This slideshow tells

  3. This display is adapted from materials produced by World Vision New Zealandfor the “Food for Tomorrow” education resource kit, by Alison Squires and Susan Warren.For more details, see the “Ethiopia Connection” at http://ethiopia.worldvision.org.nz

  4. In this slideshow, you’ll meet people in a community in a developing country

  5. You’ll see how they face hunger - and then build themselves a more secure future

  6. They need to grow their own food to be able to eat

  7. They only have a small piece of land, where the soil is not very good, and there is not enough water.

  8. People chop down trees to clear more land for growing their food

  9. Without trees, the wind and rain remove good soil, leaving only poor soil for growing crops

  10. The people don’t have money to buy good seeds or to get help to grow better crops.

  11. After a while there is less rain because there are fewer trees. Crops don’t grow very well.

  12. What happens next???

  13. There’s not enough money, and people are hungry

  14. Rain does not come

  15. The crops die, or they produce less food than people need

  16. The result is famine.

  17. People eat any food they had stored. They also have to eat the seeds that they need for next season’s crops.

  18. How can this situation change? The same people face the same challenges…

  19. They are poor….

  20. They need to grow their own food…

  21. They don’t have much land, good soil or water…

  22. They chop down trees to clear more land for growing their food

  23. But then...

  24. To keep the good topsoil, and to catch more rain water, they build flat terraces on the hillsides before planting.

  25. - training in agriculture- choosing crops that grow well together, and- growing plants which survive with less water They grow more food through -

  26. Planting trees helps to make sure the good soil does not wash away. Trees also improve the rainfall, provide firewood for cooking, and fruit to eat

  27. They learn ways to store water and channel it effectively for their crops

  28. The rain does not fall… But then…

  29. The crops continue to grow, even with less water, until next harvest time, although some crops produce less food than usual.

  30. The community has food for now, and - • food stored for the future • money saved for buying extra food, and • seeds for planting next season
