On October 11, 2010 a new global hunger index released by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) showed that one billion people face hunger this year.
The present dramatic situation has come about because instead of tackling the structural causes of food insecurity, the world neglected agriculture in development policies, resulting in an under-investment in this sector, in particular in developing countries.
It is unacceptable in the 21st century that almost one in six of the world's population is now going hungry. According to the WFP At a time when there are more hungry people in the world than ever before, there is less food aid than we have seen in living memory.
Put pressure on politicians to end hunger.
