Hunger should be over - but it isn't

Between 1968 and 2017, the world’s population increased by 113% from 3.55 billion to 7.55 billion. 

Over the same time period, the average global food supply per person per day jumped 27% to almost 3,000 calories.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the world’s poorest region, food supply per person per day rose from 1,852 in 1961 to 2,449 in 2017 – a 32 percent increase.
