摘要：Despite a prolonged decline since 2000 when over 900 million people around the world were chronically malnourished, 2016 saw a reversal, with 815 million being reported as malnourished compared to 777 million in the previous year (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2017a). The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) has identified a number of underlying factors including political instability, droughts and flooding. This reversal marks a notable blow to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2) of ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030 and highlights the immense importance of efforts to enhance ‘Global Food Security’ (GFS).
