Eradication of Hunger and Poverty
The humanitarian crisis due to impunity for state terrorism, international terrorism and genocide, and the environmental crisis due to global warming and natural disasters aggravate the problems of hunger, poverty and inequality.
Hunger
More than 820 million people suffer from hunger and these figures are increasing rapidly due to the genocidal invasion of Ukraine, which has increased the prices of grains and fertilizers.
"The current food crisis may quickly become a food catastrophe of global proportions by 2023." Secretary General of the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Rebeca Grynspan.
Poverty
More than 700 million people in the world live in extreme poverty, in addition to lacking food, basic electricity supply services, drinking water, sanitation services for the treatment of residual and black water, garbage collection, among others. Nearly 1,000 children die every day from diarrheal diseases associated with contaminated drinking water, poor sanitation or poor practices.
Inequality
Although it is true that humanitarian assistance budgets in the world exceed 300,000 million euros, on average in Europe about 15,000 euros per person per year, it is not enough given so many people who suffer from hunger and extreme poverty, they are drops in the desert, because they serve to distribute crumbs without social or economic integration, thus persisting the scourges of hunger and poverty, with huge gaps in gender inequality. At least 45 million people are at risk of dying from lack of food and 388 million women and girls -the most affected- living in extreme poverty, while the forcibly displaced exceed one hundred million.
What Can We Do to Eradicate Hunger and Poverty?
- Solve the sources of humanitarian crises with justice, to end impunity for state terrorism, international terrorism and genocide. These crimes against humanity are sanctioned by innumerable treaties that are not applied, today the repressors are protected and the victims are unprotected.
- Solve the sources of environmental crises, climate change through the reduction and absorption of greenhouse gases and the effective mitigation of natural disasters with correct and rapid reconstruction.
This would stop the increase in hunger and poverty and prevent the global food and humanitarian catastrophe predicted for 2023.
The NGO Arca Tierra works to solve the source of these problems, to curb and solve hunger, poverty and inequality, through its strategic plan The Weather, its programs and projects are aimed at developing the technological, administrative and management policy innovations necessary to lay the foundations of a civilization capable of solving climate change, surviving natural disasters, recovering and conserving natural resources, with quality of life at through sustainable development and equal human and environmental rights.
We educate and advise for the Management of Projects Oriented to Achieve These Purposes
WE PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT WITH EQUAL RIGHTS
WE GUIDE HOW TO EXECUTE SOLUTIONS IN PROJECTS
WE ADVISE HOW TO APPLY THE SOLUTIONS
WE TEACH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
We have focused on providing large-scale solutions for the world, regions (Hunger strip in Africa), countries and municipalities, to benefit more people with the prompt eradication of hunger and poverty, the programs and projects that stand out in this regard are:
But so far no government entity has responded to our proposals, except for the Ministry of the Environment of Ecuador and municipal and government entities of Chile (2020), and Colombia (2021) that welcome our proposals, to take them into account, but until Now no country or continental organization has asked us for advice on project management, to apply the recommended solutions.

Empowerment of Poor Families
So we decided to carry out smaller-scale projects, designed to empower each family to overcome hunger and poverty, providing them with Learning by Doing training in the installation, operation and maintenance of equipment to solve their main deficiencies previously exposed.
Drinking water supply, gray and black water treatment, with a water reuse system, which will prevent environmental contamination of nearby water sources and prevent floods and water shortages.
Supply of electricity through various renewable energies, feasible depending on the geographical region and environmental conditions, which are complemented and stored in a mini water battery.
Production of biofertilizers and other raw materials for an aquaponics system capable of supplying organic food with high nutritional value.
In this way, families will be self-sustaining and will be able to sell surplus biofertilizers, water, electricity and food for the acquisition of other inputs necessary for their optimal survival and thus integrate socially and economically, promoting the development of their locality.
For the supply of water, electricity and food, assistance consists in general, by giving families small rations of water and food, by candlelight the children who have access to education study in the shadows, and thus they spend their lives malnourished and poor. We do not underestimate humanitarian assistance, because it saves lives, but in the long term it becomes part of the problem. Some Non-Governmental Organizations help to have a water tap, other rechargeable lamps, or food rations, and they are already more than educating sustainable agriculture.
Circular Economy
WATER-ENERGY-FOOD CIRCUITS
So the NGO Arca Tierra, considered these fundamental needs, and promotes a project, which consists of a circular economy, made up of 3 circuits, of water, electricity and sustainable food, in a compact, transportable model, with installation and operation standards. to make the improvement of the quality of life a reality and thus eradicate hunger and poverty.
What is a Circuit?
A circuit is a closed route and generally fixed in advance that returns to the starting point. In this case, each circuit begins to generate and reuse water, energy and food, these in turn interrelate to help each other in their production processes.
The WATER-ENERGY-FOOD CIRCUITS unifies the production of essential resources for survival, water, energy and food, integrating cutting-edge technologies for water reuse, with hydroelectricity, unites the water circuit with the energy circuit to generate electricity and store various renewable energies to supply water and electricity to the home and the food production circuit without CO2 emissions and without contaminating water and soil, an aquaponics system, where the water will also be treated and oxygenated with spirulina microalgae photobioreactors . This is how the water, energy and food circuits are interrelated, to produce them in abundance and in a self-sustaining way, since once in operation, the family will have autonomy of water, energy and food.
WATER
ENERGY
FOOD
Models
Next, we present several models of the WATER-ENERGY-FOOD CIRCUITS
Which are adaptable according to the budget, geographic location, natural disaster risk map, security (against terrorism or crime), characteristics of the home or infrastructure to which the circuits will be integrated, and terrain conditions.
Urban Home Large model
Water circuits, renewable energies and sustainable food for a family or group of houses of 4-10 low-income members who receive subsidies or soft loans, for their purchase. Unit that can also be installed in educational institutions, so that they teach sustainable economic activities. Savings from basic service accounts and electric transport recharging and income from the sale of surplus cushion investment. In the case of subsidies, savings from humanitarian assistance cushion investment, aimed at eradicating hunger and poverty.
Urban Home Medium Model
Water circuits, renewable energy and sustainable food for a family or group of houses of 4-6 low-income members who receive subsidies or soft loans, for their purchase. Unit that can also be installed in educational institutions, so that they teach sustainable economic activities. Savings from basic service accounts and electric transport recharging and income from the sale of surplus cushion investment. In the case of subsidies, savings from humanitarian assistance cushion investment, aimed at eradicating hunger and poverty.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WATER-ENERGY-FOOD CIRCUITS
If they are homeless or their home is in very poor condition, they can opt for subsidy packages, for the construction of a house and the installation of circuits. Especially for social interest housing projects, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. The constructions must be suitable, according to the natural disaster risk atlas and the materials available in the area, and bioclimatic for thermal comfort.
Green Urbanization
If there is a group of people living in shacks, self-sustaining developments can be built in an area suitable for residential and commercial use, because in addition to offering housing, water, energy and food they will have sources of employment, thus, it will also serve for their social and economic integration.
Rural Model
The RURAL WATER-ENERGY-FOOD CIRCUITS will expand the circuits according to the available land, due to agricultural activities the water circuits are larger, geography is used or modified so that gravity conducts the water for irrigation systems and use residential, with hydroelectric plants along the way for greater generation of hydroelectric energy and storage of various renewable energies feasible in the region. Where sustainable agriculture is practiced (aquaponics and hydroponics ) and silvopastoral activities.
