Description
ince the signing of the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) by world leaders at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, the gravity of poverty around the world and the urgency for more specific initiatives aimed at reducing it have greatly informed general development discourse and practices. Among the various goals and targets of this worldwide initiative, hunger eradication certainly occupies a special place, because hunger more than other aspects of poverty directly erodes human dignity and undermines the foundations of human society. At least one-sixth of humanity is still threatened by vulnerability to hunger. Food insecurity dramatically affects millions of people both in rural areas and in urban centers of poor countries, with unacceptable human, economic, social and political consequences.
