Notas del editor
- At present, world is producing more than sufficient food to meet the needs of every one. Despite of this, the world is a home of 842 million undernourished people in 2011-13. The number of hungry people in the world remains unacceptably high. One in every eight people are suffering from chronic hunger. The vast majority of them (98%) live in developing countries (826 million people).Asia Region remains a home of nearly two thirds (63%) of the world total chronic hunger population, despite of its rapid economic growth.The benefit of economic growth was not equally shared among population in different economic status. In many cases, it benefitted the rich who could invest further, while the poor who did not have a capital or opportunities to invest were left behind, resulted in widening of disparity and social inequality.
