World hunger report 2011: Small, import-dependent countries in Africa at risk


A joint report, by FAO, IFAD and WFP has warned that small, import-dependent countries, particularly in Africa, are especially at risk of becoming more vulnerable to poverty and food insecurity.

Many of them still face severe problems following the world food and economic crises of 2006-2008, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) said in “The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2011″ (SOFI), an annual flagship report they jointly produced this year.
