"11.3% of the world’s population is hungry. That’s roughly 805 million people who go undernourished on a daily basis, consuming less than the recommended 2,100 calories a day"

"Hunger is one consequence of a troubled global society unbalanced by extreme inequality and the proximity of environmental limits. Solutions to food insecurity can therefore succeed only if they reinforce broader strategies for sustainable development"

"According to the World Health Organization, as of the year 2030, climate change is expected to contribute to approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year, from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress"

"The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that about 815 million people of the 7.6 billion people in the world, or 10.7%, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2016"

Hi @unicefchief I'm working on a school project about the impact of covid-19 on the global food crisis. Could you provide me with your opinion on what you believe the impacts of covid-19 will be on food security across developing nations?

Twitter analytics is such a useful tool for Twitter users. Very interesting to take a deeper look at my data!

Below is a link to an article by the World Economic Forum detailing the impact that covid-19 has had on the global food crisis:

One year ago, COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic. Today, on this National Day of Observance, we honour every parent, child, and friend who lost their life to this disease - and we stand with the people they loved as they continue to cope with this unimaginable loss.

Following the first few weeks in EM203, I have gained a much deeper understanding of the various learning theories and what areas of study may benefit most from each theory. Additionally, I've become aware of the immense impact technology has made on learning. #EM203Robin

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

@EM203SAMA Hey Sam! I think its so interesting how many learning theories we have available to us in the digital age. The readings and videos we've been assigned so far have been very informative. Enjoy the rest of your semester!

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

@EM203JGao Hi Johnson! Glad that you're also learning a lot about the different learning styles we have. My group was assigned connectivism and its very interesting to see how it compares and contrasts with your theory of constructivism. Enjoy the rest of the semester!

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

@em203_c Its been very interesting to learn about the many different styles we learn. It has definitely made me re-think what type of learner I am. I think its interesting that there are so many unique benefits and drawbacks to the learning styles and Im excited to learn more about them!

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

@EM203AFroment Hi Alyssa! I found the multi-tasking experiment to be very interesting as well. It interests me to learn more about how different environments impact the way we learn in so many ways. Enjoy the rest of the semester!

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

@EM203ZMostacci Hi Zachary! I agree that this class has been very interesting so far. Connectivism has been a highlight for me as well and it has definitely changed the way I see and understand how we learn. Enjoy the rest of the semester!

[Ben Runciman @EM203_BRunciman]

During the first few weeks of class I've learned a lot about many different learning theories. Especially connectivism, a theory that attempts to understand how we learn in this digital age using massive online networks of information. I'm excited to learn more! #EM203Robin
