Efforts to end hunger in the world have not led to significant improvements. There has been some progress but, apparently, global efforts to end hunger have not been serious. They could not have been expected to lead to the achievement of that goal.
Many food policy analysts have shifted their attention to the issue of sustainability, with some focusing on the ways in which agricultural production might be harmed as a result of climate change. The sustainability of the world’s food system into the future is important, but it may be drawing attention away from the hunger problem that is already very real for millions of people. The sustainability and hunger issues should be addressed together.
