HUNGER ON A global scale remains a major threat to the world’s poorest people, with twenty countries having levels of hunger that are now classed as “alarming” or “extremely alarming,” according to this year’s Global Hunger Index.
The Annual Index report found that the unsustainable use of land, water, and energy are the biggest factors affecting the food security of the most vulnerable people around the world.
Two of the three countries with extremely alarming levels – Burundi and Eritrea – are in sub-Saharan Africa; the third country is Haiti. South Asia is the other region that continues to suffer from the highest levels of hunger.
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) report presents a multidimensional measure of global, regional, and national hunger using data data from the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), various national demographic and health surveys, and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI).

The seventh annual report shows that, despite the proportion of hungry people around the world declining since 1990, global hunger remains at a level characterised as ‘serious’.
The Index is published for the seventh year by Concern Worldwide, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and German non-profit development organisation Welthungerhilfe
Speaking at the launch of the report, entitled The Challenge of Hunger – Ensuring Sustainable Food Security under Land, Water, and Energy Stresses, Shane McEntee TD, said: “Last year, in addition to the ongoing programmes funded by Irish Aid, my Department provided almost €8.5 million to the World Food Programme for emergency actions and for protracted relief and recovery. We recognise the need to deal with emergencies as they occur and the special funding we provided to Haiti at the beginning of last year shows our commitment to this cause”.
The Minister also referred to the guidelines agreed by the FAO’s Committee on Food Security last May, which were aimed at helping governments to safeguard the rights of people to own or access land, saying it served as “a mechanism for consensus-building at international level and policy promotion at national level.”

That weed number is much higher I can assure you. The reason they won’t have a, legalise the harmless plant that we’ve used the media machine for nearly 100 years to say it is bad is….. it will easily pass, that’s why.
Bang on the money Barry
NORML Ireland (National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) is now fully up & running and is looking to build its membership numbers, cannabis activits get involved, with enough support we can make things happen.
Is it norml.ie ?
A lot of weed in triners…
Watch the eyes – out on sticks.
For a growing number (!)
Ferguson occurred 33 days before 9/11/ 2014
James Foley occurred 22 days before 9/11/2014
Could we be expecting something to happen 11 days before 9/11/2014?
9/11 or the 11th September is the 111th day before the end of the year and also the 254th of the year….2+5+4 = 11
September 11th 2014 is also the 13th anniversary of the Twin Towers, a significant number in itself.
Easily the 6th or 7th time you’ve posted this over the course of the week…we all believe you, now give it a rest
Good man, these similarities are just a natural occurrence.
It doesn’t mean anything, it’s called chance.
There’s me lotto numbers sorted!
The Todd … 6+7 = 13
Abilitive 2+2=5
We need the right to vote more- like in the US States!
We should be able to demand a vote on any subject- legalise it by letting us vote in favour! – I’m 46 and would support legalisation-particularly for Medical conditions such as Muscular Dystrophy, MS, Cancer, Glaucoma, AS, Parkinsons, Iritis, Chronic pain, chronic arthritis etc etc!
Ireland needs to wake up like Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Netherlands etc!
Will the councils still get the same developers to work for these councils? It stinks of corruption. No other business could survive this abuse of taxpayers money. They owe the money to the people of Ireland. Sure who cars is the attitude.
