A number of people suffering from hunger reduced by 167 million – a great progress on the way to hunger alleviation. Still, one in every nine people suffers from chronical hunger and its consequences. Socio-political instability and natural disasters are the two major factors that compromise food security.

On the 8th of April Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation, UNDP and FAO co-organized a seminar on global food security and nutrition in the post-2015 agenda.

As the target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) approaches, a number of processes have been put in place to seek inputs from country, regional and global levels, into the “Post-2015 Development Agenda and Framework”.

WASH investments substantially contribute to food and nutrition security: Making more out of available food through improved health and increasing harvests through productive sanitation.
