WFP

Published in : 2007

Available in : English

The battle against hunger can be won in our lifetime. The technology, knowledge and resources exist to meet the needs of the world’s hungry. What is required now is for leaders to make the right political choices to ensure that images of hungry children are a problem of the past, rather than a shame of the present.

This edition of the World Hunger Series focuses on one of the most critical choices: taking action to address hunger and health together. For those in poor health, overcoming hunger is often a prerequisite for treatment and recovery. Food helps to speed recovery and guard against infection.
