Failure to End Hunger
September 24, 2010
An environment is a living, changing system…It conditions how we feel, think, and behave; and it dramatically affects the quality of our lives.

One target of the Millennium Development Goals, agreed to by world leaders a decade ago, is to halve the proportion of undernourished people in developing countries by 2015. Recent developments, as reported in the Financial Times (September 15, 2010), call into question whether this goal will be achieved.
Steady, if not dramatic, progress toward achieving this goal was hampered by the mid-2007 food crisis, which resulted in the number of undernourished individuals to increase to over 1 billion for the first time. An encouraging 10% decline in this number in the past year may be offset, reports the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization, by a recent spike in the prices for cereal, meat, and sugar. In addition, the recent floods in Pakistan and the ongoing food and shelter crisis in Haiti will increase levels of hunger.

MDG can be successful by us . So heads are requested to be strict to failure.

Some of our children are malnourished because of poor planning and corrupt governing structures. Unless strict measures are taken against those who contribute towards children's lack of food, the 2015 MDGs will be a white elephant monument
