The current world food crisis

• There are in excess of 795 million people around the world who don’t have enough to eat in order to achieve a healthy diet.

• Asia is the worst affected continent, with two thirds of those who are affected by hunger living within the continent.

• Africa is the region that has the highest prevalence of hunger, with more than one in four being malnourished.

• Almost half (45%) of child deaths in the world are down to poor nutrition; this equates to 3.1 million children each and every year.
