Today's extreme-poverty line is inadequate to avoid being undernourished – in Nicaragua, for example. Although the share of people living in extreme poverty in 1990 was halved by 2010, progress will have to accelerate considerably to halve the prevalence of under-nutrition by 2015.
正如《2013年世界粮食不安全状况》报告所指出的那样，2000年来消除饥饿和营养不良的步伐有所放缓，粮价在经历近半个世纪的下降后开始重拾升势。虽然经济快速增长提振了许多发达国家的人均收入，但增收状况并不均匀，导致数亿人在没有充分增收的情况下面临更高的粮价。
