Right to Food and Nutrition Watch 2009
Who controls the governance of the world food system?
The gap between promises and reality is increasing. In 2009, the number of undernourished people in the world reached the historically high figure of 1.02 billion people, about 100 million more than in 2008.
The international community and national governments are painfully far from realising the World Food Summit targets to halve the number of chronically hungry people in the world by the year 2015. It is clear that the global governance of the World Food System needs to be remodelled in order to effectively overcome hunger and its causes.
