NAIROBI, Kenya — Parents in some of Africa's poorest countries are cutting back on school, clothes and basic medical care just to give their children a meal once a day, experts say. Still, it is not enough.
A record 1 billion people worldwide are hungry and a new report says the number will increase if governments do not spend more on agriculture. According to the U.N. food agency, which issued the report, 30 countries now require emergency aid, including 20 in Africa.
The trend continues despite a goal set by world leaders nine years ago to cut the number of hungry people in half by 2015.
"We know a child dies every six seconds of malnutrition," he said.
The world's most populous region, Asia and the Pacific, has the largest number of hungry people — 642 million — followed by Sub-Saharan Africa with 265 million.
The FAO says global food output will have to increase by 70 percent to feed a projected population of 9.1 billion in 2050.
To achieve that, poor countries will need $44 billion in annual agricultural aid, compared with the current $7.9 billion, to increase access to irrigation systems and modern machinery as well as build roads and train farmers.
another liberal failure, this is real sad.
What the fuck are you smoking? Don't try to derail this thread with your bullshit.
Kind of makes me ashamed that the U.S. is turning corn into *cough* bio-fuel.
We can import all of our ethanol desires and do it without cost to the government. The Big Ag lobby rules the roost.

starvation is a liberal failure, is a fact, all the trillions of welfare given to poor countries keep the poor, poor. You cannot deny this is a liberal policy. This is not derailing the thread, just putting the blame where it belongs.

The U.N. needs to send sterilization kits to the regions hit hardest. On a related note, remember to spay or neuter your cat.

So all you did was make a bunch of general opinions. Not one statistic or fact. You can blame Liberals all you want, but it doesn't make it true.

How tragic, the misuse of providing food and overpopulation are having major effects. I don't see a positive ending to this story.

Not one fact or statistic, what you smoking, you need to get a bit of an education my freind.
Africa has gone to hell in a hand basket since the whites have been chased out. One of the best hospitals in the world was destroyed in south africa when rule by the whites ended.
Not all people are ready for self rule.

You make a good point. While the idealists believe everyone want's "democracy". it's kind of hard to explain to someone that doesn't know what it is.
Just as it's hard to assume power when one has no experience in being in control. The PC crowd can rant all they want but their ranting flies in the face of logic an dcommon sense.
