The Food and Agriculture Organization, a part of the United Nations, reports that nearly 800 million people are undernourished. That means they get fewer than 2,200 calories of food a day, not enough to maintain basic health. An additional 2 to 3 billion people lack sufficient micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in their diets. Yet while world population only doubled, world food production more than tripled. And the proportion of the world's population that is hungry is decreasing, just not fast enough. In fact, we grow enough to give each person 3,500 calories a day, more than most people need, depending on how active they are. Even many developing nations produce more than enough food for their people. Yet, three-quarters of the youngest (0-5 years) victims of hunger live in countries with food surpluses.Two billion people, furthermore, endure what is called food insecurity. They don't know from day to day whether they will have enough to eat.

According to the UN, 820 million people globally do not have enough to eat, which constitutes about one in nine people in the world. This is mainly due to poverty, conflicts, and natural disasters affecting food security.
