At the G8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy in 2009, global leaders committed to "act with the scale and urgency needed to achieve sustainable global food security." They recognised that the combined effect of longstanding under-investment in agriculture and food security, historically high and volatile food prices, and the economic and financial crisis was increasing dramatically the number of poor and hungry and jeopardising global progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goals. By robbing people of a healthy and productive life and stunting the development of the next generation, hunger leads to devastating consequences for individuals, families, communities, and nations. This book examines the state of food insecurity in the world and provides an overview of the Obama Administration's global hunger and food security initiative, called "Feed the Future".
