Also available in:
In the last two decades, food and nutritional security have become an integral part of the political agenda of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the eradication of hunger and malnutrition is now a regional development objective. In 1990-92, Latin America and the Caribbean began the challenge of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with 14.7% of its population affected by hunger. By 2014-16 this prevalence has fallen to 5.5% and the region has achieved the MDG hunger goal. The region also m et the goal of the World Food Summit (WFS) established in 1996, having reduced the total number of people suffering hunger to 34.3 million. Poverty has also declined from 2002 onwards, from 44% to 28%, although extreme poverty has risen in the last two years.
