Key Facts and Figures 

By Katy Wilson 

Perhaps you know that the Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that there are 868 million people chronically hungry in the world. But did you know that something like 1 in 3 children in developing countries suffer from stunted growth because they are malnourished? This and other facts and figures from Gordon Conway's recently released book, One Billion Hungry: Can We Feed the World? can be found in a new briefing paper by Katy Wilson.  It lays out some, often startling, statistics relating to the challenges and solutions to achieving global food security.
