Ebook: Towards the End of Hunger

Hunger is diminishing. The world is attaining the Millennium Development Goal of halving the prevalence of hunger by 2015 relative to 1990-1992. Though the hungry are still many, their number is tendentially decreasing over time in absolute numbers and as a percentage of population. Hunger prevalence is still high in areas affected by unfavourable climate, violence, displaced populations, and extreme poverty. The food and hunger situation is improving, though the fight against hunger is far from over.
