SOYMB will keep going on repeating facts until the food shortage myth has disappeared
Reducing world hunger and malnutrition has been on the global political agenda for decades. The United Nations' World Food Program say one in eight people are undernourished. And it says poor nutrition causes nearly half of infant deaths. The UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier de Schutter says that doesn't need to be the case.
Associate Professor in Public Health Nutrition at Deakin University in Melbourne, Dr Mark Lawrence explains:
“We produce in the world about 4,800 kilocalories per person - this is twice as much as what we need to feed the population of 7 billion. yet we have almost 1 billion people who are hungry - I believe we have more than one billion people hungry - and that is clearly not because we're not producing enough.”
