2 May 2019 – Mumbai, India – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to solving global problems around the globe. The new resource is titled “Halving Hunger: It can be done”, by Pedro Sanchez, M.S. Swaminathan, Philip Dobie and Nalak Yuksel. The report was the result of a UN Millennium Project Task Force on hunger and was published in 2005.
The world is facing an unprecedented need to improve the lives of billions of food-deprived people. Under the leadership of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the UN Millennium Project identified strategies to eradicate poverty by scaling up investments in specific areas like infrastructure and human capital. The report is an independent publication and reflects the views of task force members on hunger. It describes interventions and policy measures identified by task forces in order to achieve the goal.
The report explains in detail the topics like the imperatives for reducing hunger, the status of various regions in meeting hunger goals and a generic strategic approach for halving hunger. It also recommends six measures and roadmap for implementation. Some of the recommendations include moving from political commitment to action, increasing the agricultural productivity of food-insecure farmers, improving nutrition for the chronically hungry & vulnerable, increasing incomes & make markets work for the poor and restoring & conserving the natural resources essential for food security.
To access this new resource, go to the “Solving Global Problems” section of the library at https://pmworldlibrary.net/solving-global-problems/ click on “Reducing Hunger, Famine and Malnutrition”, scroll down to reports. Must be a registered member and logged-in to access.
