Food Security and Innovation

There are more than 1 billion malnourished people in the world today, representing the number one threat to health worldwide.  Whereas good progress was made in reducing chronic hunger in the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, hunger has been slowly but steadily rising for the past decade.   Innovation can play an important role in growing and raising food, in addressing micronutrient deficiencies and creating distribution networks to ensure that nutritious food can be delivered around the world.
