FAO Hunger Portal

21 October 2009

On the occasion of World Food Week, FAO launched a new website on hunger. The FAO Hunger Portal features country specific statistics and an interactive world map to visualize the prevalence of hunger around the globe.

A set of "Frequently Asked Questions" responds to standard queries on undernourishment. For those interested in deeper analyzes, the Portal also serves as a gateway to FAO’s manifold information resources on hunger and related issues.

Hunger is a cross-cutting issue that needs to be looked at from many different angels: analytical, empirical and political. External visitors to the FAO homepage now have access to a key resource that provides information on all of these aspects.
