Finishing Off Hunger
Despite some progress, the world has a long way to go to eradicate hunger. A new report – published jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and the World Food Program – provides valuable insights into the way forward.
ROME – At least 842 million people worldwide suffer from chronic hunger – a nearly 1.5% decrease from the 854 million estimated for 2010-2012. Clearly, while some progress has been made, the world still has a long way to go to eradicate under-nutrition.
