Over the past 25 years, substantial progress has been made towards the achievement of the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG1) which committed world leaders to eradicate extreme hunger and poverty.
Since 1990, the number of hungry people in the world has declined by over 200 million. The global rates of underweight and stunting in children under the age of five have also reduced by over 40 percent.Despite this progress all countries suffer from one or more forms of malnutrition, and 1 in 3 people are malnourished. Around 159 million children are stunted and 50 million are wasted.
