"In favour. Food insecurity is challenging the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and the least developed countries. At the MDG Summit in September 2010, it was reported that progress towards the achievement of the hunger targets had clearly been insufficient. According to the FAO, the estimate of hungry people in 2010 was 925 million, down from 1 023 million in 2009, but still more than the number of undernourished people in 2008 (about 815 million). There is strong evidence that food price increases during the last few months have already augmented that number even if there are still no official figures available from the FAO. New challenges, including the growing threat of food speculation, climate change, global land acquisitions, biofuels, loss of biodiversity, land degradation and pressures on water, have contributed to further affect the state of food security in the world. In this context, the current problems around hunger and malnutrition have led to a rethink of the food security approach, not only at an EU level, but also at the global level."@en1
