Likewise, following the 2008 global economic crisis, food-price spikes and recession caused the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to revise its hunger estimates upward, to more than one billion people. Considering the FAO’s conservative definition of chronic severe hunger, this is a serious indictment of global poverty-reduction efforts.
类似地，2008年全球经济危机爆发后，食品价格暴涨和衰退导致联合国粮农组织（FAO）调高了饥饿人口估计调高了10亿多人。FAO对长期严重饥饿的定义是十分保守的，因此，这不啻一份针对全球减贫工作的严厉批评书。
