"WASHINGTON (CNS) — About 842 million people worldwide are undernourished, with the number of chronically hungry people growing at a rate of nearly 5 million a year, according to a report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.

The report, released Nov. 25, said the fight against world hunger was being lost and that countries would not meet the goal stated at the 1996 World Food Summit in Rome to reduce by 50 percent the number of undernourished people by 2015.

"FAO's latest estimates signal a setback in the war against hunger," the report said.

Data compiled from 1995-1997 and from 1999-2001 showed an increase of 18 million undernourished people, wiping out decreases attained in the early 1990s.

"Unless significant gains are made in large countries where progress has stalled, it will be difficult to reverse this negative trend," the FAO report said. "

there is a hunger project, to combat hunger. the project is a large scale one. you may find deailed analysis of hunger, statistics, ways ans means, programmes, networking, volunteers, etc., if you get in touch with the project managers , at the policy and admn. levels.
if you are considering to volunteer, there is an ample scope for you.
i feel that's the correct way to do it, just cotact huger project, it's world -wide.
