UN: Hunger can be eradicated in Africa by 2025
Eradicating hunger in Africa by 2025 is achievable - if Africa's leaders champion it and promote improved crop production and healthy eating, the head of the UN food and agriculture agency said Friday.
Jose Graziano da Silva went even further in an interview with The Associated Press, saying the Food and Agriculture Organization believes that hunger can be eradicated around the globe "in a generation - in our lifetime" if there is a political commitment by world leaders to ensure that all their citizens get access to nutritious food.
