Consumption development trends World consumption has expanded at an unprecedented pace over the 20th century, with private and public consumption expenditures reaching over $35 trillion in 2012, twice the level of 1975 and six times that of In 1900 real consumption expenditure was barely $1.5 trillion. The benefits of this consumption have spread far and wide. More people are better fed and housed than ever before. Living standards have risen to enable hundreds of millions to enjoy housing with hot water and cold, warmth and electricity, transport to and from work-with time for leisure and sports, vacations and other activities beyond anything imagined at the start of this century.

I. Economic Reasons -Liberalization -Price development -Global food market and the role of distributers -Investment Policy -Energy policy II. Political Reasons -instability - wars and internal conflicts III. Global environment problems -Climate changes -Unsustainable natural sources exploitation THE REASONS OF UNDERNURISHMENT
THE MAIN REASON OF UNDERNURISHMENT IS POVERTY -Unequal distribution of sources, incomes and wealth, -Inability to ensure the functioning infrastructure, -Low level of education and limited access to education, -Social exclusion, -Marginalization of women, old people, minorities etc.
