Hunger targets

  • In 1996, world leaders attending the World Food Summit in Rome committed themselves to halve by 2015 the number of undernourished people. (Rome Declaration)
  • In 2000, world leaders agreed on the eight Millennium Development Goals. The first goal states that the percentage of undernourished people should be halved by 2015.

FAO Hunger Report

The State of Food Insecurity in the World raises awareness about global hunger issues. It discusses underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition and monitors progress towards hunger reduction targets established at the 1996 World Food Summit and the 2000 Millennium Summit.
