Product Description
This Millennium Project Task Force Report examines current world progress towards eliminating hunger, and calls for the implementation of seven recommendations in the areas of: political action; national policy reforms; increased agricultural productivity for food insecure farmers; improved nutrition for the chronically hungry; productive safety nets for the acutely hungry; improved rural incomes and markets; and restoration and conservation of natural resources essential for food security.

5 out of 5 stars Why Hunger Persists   January 13, 2007
This book is the product of the UN Development Program Task Force on Hunger, headed by two very bright and extremely experienced people.br /br /The book lists the costs of allowing hunger to persist, and the programs which have been successful at strikingly reducing it. If you want to know how to do it, here it is.br /br /Halving Hunger demonstrates that there are no technical barriers to halving hunger, there is only the apathy of the peoples of the earth who don't insist that their governments do the simple and cheap actions which would end it. They don't press the point but as an American, I'm very saddened that we are the laggards by a long ways in keeping hunger in place.
