Go to the “Global Youth Institute – Michigan Delegates” website. Click on the “2014 Paper Instructions.” The
2014 theme is food security. People have food security when they do not live in hunger or fear of starvation.
Worldwide, more than 925 million people – one seventh of the world population – are without enough food
to eat on a regular basis and six million children die of hunger annually (World Food Prize. 2014). Your task
is to select one country and one key factor affecting food security in that country as the focus of your
research paper. See Steps 1 and 2 under “How to Write Your Research Paper” on the “Global Youth Institute
– Michigan Delegates” website (see above for website) for countries and key food security factors. Please list
below your selected country and key factor.
