What?
US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has predicted that world's hunger will drop to 6% in 10 years.
How?
Currently 17 percent of the world's population don't have good access to food, but by 2026, that number should drop to just 6 percent, with 76 low- and middle-income countries projected to get better food security.
Asia is said to lead the developments, with the food insecurity set to fall there from 13.2 to 2.4 in a decade, conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean are also said to improve.
Why?
This is because of lowering food prices and increased income levels in the developing countries, if this condition persists then the world hunger will drop from 609 million people in 2016 to a projected 251 million in 2026.
The drop in prices will affect wheat, corn, rices crops. The prices will reduce at a rate of 0.3 to 1.6% annually.
These statistics are based on availability of 2100 calories per person.
And so
The USDA's figures show we are going in the right direction to eradicating "world's hunger" inturn malnutrition, which is one of the largest killer of children right now.
