There are around 6 billion people in the world today.
Hunger is a violation of human dignity.
It is an impediment to social, political and economic progress. Hunger and the risk of starvation prevent the poor from mastering new skills, adopting beneficial new technology, and otherwise taking advantage of development opportunities. Unless we break the cycle of hunger, the next generation will be caught in the same trap. It does not need to be this way. The end of hunger is within reach.
