Re: Ecological Economics and Entropy
The absolute number of malnourished people is down slightly - from 800
million to 700 million. The objective is to bring it down to 400
million by 2015.
This week an expected 100 heads of state and
government gather in Rome for the U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organisation's (FAO) World Food Summit to pledge to reduce
the number of under-nourished to 400 million by 2015.
They will agree that the world, with some 800
million people lacking enough food to meet their basic
nutritional needs, must act to increase production
significantly.
The source on which I read it was down slightly is not in accordance
with the above extract from a news story about the Rome food meeting
going on at present.
