Building on Past Analysis United Nations, Millennium Project Hunger Task Force, 2005 World Bank, World Development Report, Agriculture for Development, 2008 International Agricultural Assessment of Science and Technology for Development, 2008 UNEP Environmental Food Crisis, 2009

International Agricultural Assessment of Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) Input from more than 400 scientists worldwide Approved by 59 governments Found that farmers and researchers need to abandon conventional, reductionist approaches that separate: Agriculture from the environment The environment from meeting human needs

Conclusions: There is no single or silver-bullet approach to alleviating hunger and poverty Reintegrating livestock and crop production could dramatically improve rural economies in the most degraded environments Orphan crops and traditional seed varieties have huge potential International Agricultural Assessment of Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD)

The Epicenter of Hunger: Sub-Saharan Africa According to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Global Hunger Index, the countries with the most hunger and the least progress on alleviating malnutrition over the last few decades are in sub-Saharan Africa Source: World Bank
