UNITED NATIONS' MDGs One of the objectives of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is the reduction by half the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. A United Nations-established Hunger Task Force of the UN Millennium Development Project recently highlighted the need for a strategic approach to reducing hunger and the crucial need to move from political commitment to action. Dr. Roland Bunch who is a member of this Task Force and the Director of Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods, a US based NGO, attended the FAO Committee on Agriculture, last April 2005, in Rome.
