Hunger and Health explores the multiple relationships between
hunger and poor health, and how they affect the growth of
individuals, physiologically and psychologically, constraining the
development of nations both socially and economically. Examining
the profound effect that hunger has on health, including disease
prevention and treatment, it gives special attention to access to
quality food and healthcare, in particular for the marginalized and
poor. It also identifies critical junctures in the human life cycle
when the benefits of reducing hunger and improving poor health have
a profound impact.It demonstrates how aligning of hunger and health
interventions can offer proven solutions that reach those most in
need, and contains compelling evidence which confirms that hunger
and poor health are solvable problems today. It encourages those
involved in policy, programming and advocacy to take action to
address some of the most urgent hunger and health problems. This is
an essential reading for anyone concerned about eliminating
hunger.It is written by the UN's World Food Programme, the world's
most important food agency, supplying food to 90 million people in
78 countries in 2006 alone. It sheds light on a vital, hitherto
neglected area of the hunger debate - the multiple relationships
between hunger and poor health. It offers essential actions and
affordable solutions for leaders to reach those most in need, make
access to food and healthcare more equitable, and ultimately
eliminate hunger. It contains compelling evidence on the profound
impact that reducing hunger and improving health has at critical
junctures in life as well as the benefits to national economies.
