Many classrooms, especially in rural Guatemala, do not have adequate teaching materials. The current state of the education system is substandard. If you learn about the problem your having you can better understand it to find a solution. How do you learn to solve a math problem? How do you learn to solve any problem you encounter? The answer is simple, learn about it. Proper education is a way to fix these problems. Food availability in Guatemala is poor mainly due to vulnerability to environmental factors like droughts, floods and storms, deforestation and soil erosion(FAO).

These foods meet nearly 90% of energy requirements and are deficient in total fats, proteins of animal origin and micronutrients, especially in the plateau, north and center regions as well as low-income population groups (FAO). The food groups that sustain the population, in terms of DES, continue to be cereals (mainly maize), sugars and beans. The problem is that tortillas aren’t a steady food source because they are made of corn. This family’s meals will consist mostly of tortillas and rice. The average family size is about 5-6 people, not including parents, which is a lot (Arcgis). The family will most likely belong to the agricultural sector along with the other 70% of the population (discovershareinspire). The Father will work but doesn’t always have work to do making it harder to get money. The family will most likely be very poor and live meal to meal. A typical family lives under a tin roofed house that does not have covered windows or even an AC unit. To begin, you have to know how Guatemalans live first.

Guatemala has a huge food insecurity problem.
