OpEdNews - Diary: Halving Hunger Through "Business as Unusual"

OpEdNews - Diary: Halving Hunger Through "Business as Unusual": "Currently, 16 percent of the world is undernourished. In his recently published report, Halving Hunger: Meeting the First Millennium Development Goal through 'Business as Unusual', Fan voiced his concern that efforts to meet the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving the proportion of undernourished people by 2015 are 'moving in the wrong direction.' Taking projected population growth into account, the number of undernourished needs to fall by an average of 73 million per year in the next five years."
