Abstract	This unit uses six activities to examine questions of world hunger as seen in an African context and the related policy issues. Each activity allows students to explore a case study demonstrating a factor that affects hunger and grapple with some of the challenges facing policymakers today. Students should come to understand the nature of hunger, its distribution in the world, and the complex factors creating conditions for hunger. The lessons include: (1) "How Does Conflict Affect Hunger?"; (2) "Hunger and Local Communities"; (3) "Hunger and Government Policies"; (4) "What Is the Relationship between the Natural Environment and Hunger?"; (5) "How Do Population Growth and Hunger Relate?"; (6) "How Do Foreign Aid and Structural Adjustment Policies Affect Hunger?"; and (7) "The Web of Hunger." A 24-item list of references conclude the document. (EH)
