Food Production and Population Growth

Date

March 11 2003


  • The world's population will be better fed by 2030, but 100's of millions in developing countries will remain chronically hungry.
  • The number of hungry is expected to decline from 800 million today to 440 million in 2030.
  • This means that the 1996 target to reduce the number of hungry people by half by 2015, will NOT be met by 2030.
  • Parts of South Asia may still be in a difficult position and much of sub-Saharan Africa will not be significantly better off than at present.
  • The world must brace itself for continuing interventions to cope with the consequences of local food crises and for action to remove permanently their root causes.
