Can the World Meet its Promise to Halve Hunger by 2015? - Ecocentric - TIME.com: "A new report released by Oxfam this week has some good news and some bad news for the state of world hunger. The good news: last year, the FAO recorded the first significant dent in world hunger in 15 years, with a decrease from a record 1.02 billion people going hungry in 2009 after the global food crisis down to 925 million this year.
The bad news: 925 million people on the planet are still hungry, a fact that represents what is quickly shaping up to be a basic failure on the part of nations who met ten years ago to establish the UN Millennium Development Goals."
