MeetingMeeting documentGlobal Strategic Framework for Food Security and Nutrition (4th version, 2015)
Committee on World Food Security (CFS)
2015For the period 2012-2014, a total of 805 million people – or around one in nine people in the world – were estimated to be suffering from chronic hunger, which means that they are not getting enough food to conduct an active life1. The food crisis of 2007–08, followed by the financial and economic crisis in 2009, continuing in 2012, drew stark attention to the daily challenges faced by millions of families around the world in their attempt to overcome hunger and poverty and seek stable livelihoo ds that support a just and dignified way of life.2 Despite the efforts of many, and the commitment of the international community in the Millennium Declaration to reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015, persistent hunger and malnutrition remains the norm for millions of human beings. -
