Udrag fra artiklen FAO/WFP: Kronisk sult i 22 lande kræver nytænkning.
'ROME, 6 October 2010: 22 countries are facing enormous challenges like repeated food crises and an extremely high prevalence of hunger due to a combination of natural disasters, conflict and weak institutions.'
Artiklen nævner en god retning det hele tager:
'Earlier this month, FAO revealed that 925 million people in the world live in chronic hunger, down 98 million from 1.020 billion in 2009. The decline was primarily attributable to better economic prospects in 2010 and the fall in food prices since mid-2008'
Selvfølgelig sluttede den af med muligheder for at det her kan blive meget bedre:
“Lessons from the experience of many countries show that building longer-term assistance activities in the framework of existing or revitalized local institutions, offers the best hope of long-term sustainability and real improvement of food security. Social protection mechanisms, such as school meals, cash and food-for-work activities and vouchers can make a vital difference in the long term,” Diouf and Sheeran wrote.'
