Feed the Future At A Glance

More than one billion people - one sixth of the world's population - suffer from chronic hunger. Each year,more than 3.5 million children die from undernutrition. Hunger robs the poor of a healthy and productive life and stunts the mental and physical development of the next generation. Reducing chronic hunger is essential to build a foundation for investments in health, education and economic growth. It is critical to the sustainable development of individuals, communities and nations.

Initiatives like this never gets any attention.

1. Yup they dont get enough attention. Nor does the issue of exploding population growth on this planet
Kudos to Hillary and Martin for hosting the event mentioned in the article. Too bad the media doesn't spend a little time on issues like this, but then again they're too busy stirring the pots of dissension and division.
