World Hunger is on the Rise – Biotech Can Help

A new report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) shows that world hunger is again on the rise after recent declines, affecting 815 million people in 2016 – 11 percent of the global population.
That increase amounts to 38 million more people going hungry than the year before, according to FAO, largely due to climate change effects and conflict around the world. The global economic slowdown has also contributed to this food insecurity.
