For the world as a whole, per capita food availability has risen from about 2220 kcal&#x2F;person&#x2F;day in the early 1960s to 2790 kcal&#x2F;person&#x2F;day in 2006-08, while developing countries even recorded a leap from 1850 kcal&#x2F;person&#x2F;day to over 2640 kcal&#x2F;person&#x2F;day. This growth in food availability in conjunction with improved access to food helped reduce the percentage of chronically undernourished people in developing countries from 34 percent in the mid 1970s to just 15 percent three decades later. (FAO 2012, p. 4) The principal problem is that many people in the world still do not have sufficient income to purchase (or land to grow) enough food.&quot;<p>Taken from <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldhunger.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;Learn&#x2F;world%20hunger%20facts%202002.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.worldhunger.org&#x2F;articles&#x2F;Learn&#x2F;world%20hunger%20f...</a>.<p>I did not want to just say &#x27;there is enough food, but the distribution is not fair&#x27;.
