The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2013 presents updated
estimates of undernourishment and progress towards the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) and World Food Summit (WFS) hunger targets.
The latest assessment shows that further progress has been made
towards the 2015 MDG target, which remains within reach for the
developing regions as a whole, although marked differences across
regions persist and considerable and immediate additional efforts
will be needed. The 2013 report goes beyond measuring food
deprivation. It presents a broader suite of indicators that aim to
capture the multidimensional nature of food insecurity, its
determinants and outcomes. This suite, compiled for every country,
allows a more nuanced picture of their food security status,
guiding policy-makers in the design and implementation of targeted
and effective policy measures that can contribute to the
eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. Drawing on
the suite of indicators, the report also examines the diverse
experiences of six countries in more detail, finding a mixed
picture of progress and setbacks. Together, these country
experiences show the importance of social protection and
nutrition-enhancing interventions, policies to increase
agricultural productivity and rural development, diverse sources of
income and long-term commitment to mainstreaming food security and
nutrition in public policies and programmes.
