According to the State of Food Insecurity in the World (SOFI 2013) report released on Tuesday by United Nations food agencies, the number of people who suffered from chronic hunger in India has dropped by 6.5 percent to 21.38 crore during 2011-13. The number of undernourished in the country during 2008-10 stood at 22.86 crore people. Ironically, India is the world's second largest grower of wheat and rice. "Despite the progress made worldwide, marked differences in hunger reduction persist... The vast majority of hungry people live in developing regions." said the report by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP). Chronic hunger is defined as “not getting enough food to lead active and healthy life.” Global perspective At the global level, 842 million people suffered from chronic hunger in 2011-13, down from 868 million people reported in the previous report. Although a major chunk of the undernourished people lived in the developing countries, 15.7 million lived in developed countries, the report highlighted. While the report highlighted a nation’s economic growth as the key for progress in hunger reduction, but the growth may not directly drive to create and produce better jobs and incomes for all. Policies specifically targeting the poor, especially in rural areas, is what is required. “In poor countries, hunger and poverty reduction will only be achieved with growth that is not only sustained but also broadly shared,” the report observed. The findings and commendations of the report will be up for discussion by the representatives of governments, civil society and private sector next week at a meeting of the Committee of Food Security at the Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters in Rome.
