More people in the world go hungry today than any time in the last 30 years
Posted on December 1st, 2009.
“This year the number of poor people around the world struggling to get enough food for survival for themselves and their families has risen to a little more than a billion — the highest level in 30 years.
For several years the ranks of the hungry and undernourished had been steady at about 850 million, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. The situation began to get worse in 2004. The number rose to 923 million in 2007 as the crisis began to take hold. It now stands at 1.02 billion.”
