Today, hunger and food insecurity remain global challenges. While substantial progress has been made over the past decade on a number of fronts, progress on hunger and malnutrition has remained stubbornly slow. In 2010, an estimated 925 million people, or 13.6% of the world population, did not have enough to eat, despite decreases in income poverty in several regions; 98% of the world’s undernourished live in developing countries; 60% of them are women. Malnutrition is an underlying cause of more than a third of child deaths, an estimated 2.6 million a year. Nearly one in five children under the age of five in the developing world is underweight. Long-term under-nutrition has left millions of children suffering from stunting, putting them at risk for diminished cognitive and physical development. The number of people worldwide affected by disasters, including as a consequence of global climate change, is on the rise. The Food Assistance Convention (FAC) 2012 is fully in line with the EU’s ongoing efforts to contribute to reducing poverty and eradicating hunger globally in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. The continuing need for an international, legally binding framework that defines and provides the commitments and instruments for the delivery of food assistance to developing countries is obvious."@en1
