Hidden hunger as a result of neglect of food quality Three indicators are hidden hunger malnutrition in the general population, child malnutrition and child mortality. When assessing data experts have current figures compared with the statistics from 1990. Wolfgang Jamann, general secretary of the German aid organization Welthungerhilfe, believes this is due to neglected the overall quality of the food, although the movement is currently positive. Not only is it important to increase productivity, therefore, the production of larger quantities of food, but also the variety of food crops, therefore, particularly in vegetable growing, but also to increase, for example, small livestock farms, says Jamann. With his colleagues propose possible solutions for this, most in support of agricultural production. They are very important to us three aspects. These strengthen agriculture, improve nutrition habits and careful use of natural resources. Support only those who have a chance Support must primarily agricultural development in the poorest countries. Jamann looks critically at the new report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) relating to cooperation in the field of development. The OECD countries are planning Iveco expenditure for development sector, but the report says the tendency of support for countries in rapid economic development, countries that are doing well and which are stable, said Jamann. In countries where most hungry for now, however, plans to more humanitarian aid, but investment in the construction of concrete solutions.
