-
The problem of hunger & illiteracy are related. Studies showed that increasing education has a direct effect on improving agricultural production
-
Collaboration among education and agricultural specialists represents an important step forward, it has led to the creation of a new partnership initiative called Education for Rural People
-
Most of the world's poor and hungry live in rural areas. Rural children who are hungry simply do not have the energy to attend school or to learn effectively. Hunger impairs both their mental and physical growth.

There are infrastructure problems too - there is a lack of schools in rural areas or where are there are schools, there is no proper infrastructure.
