Managing Total Well-Being: An Eradication of HungerStrategy for Optimal Health and Quality of Life

Abstract

Hunger and food security remain complex global challenges affecting an estimated 690 million people
in the world, impacting on physical health, cognitive development, economic productivity and social
stability of communities. This study aims to explore a holistic approach to hunger eradication as an integral component of improving the total well-being of individuals and communities. Using a systematic
review of current literature (2020-2025) from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, the
research analyzed eight key themes: structural causes of hunger, multidimensional impacts, sustainable
food systems, technological innovation, community empowerment, public policy interventions, mental
well-being, and climate resilience. The results show that interventions that focus solely on increasing
food production are not effective enough without improvements to distribution systems and economic
justice. The most successful food security programs are those that integrate interventions across sectors
(agriculture, health, education and social protection) and involve local communities in planning and
implementation. A holistic approach that integrates sustainable food systems, technological innovation, community empowerment, appropriate public policies and climate-resilient agricultural practices
has proven effective in addressing hunger while improving overall well-being.
