These three burdens are related, but distinctly different, problems: energy deficiencies (hunger), micronutrient deficiencies (hidden hunger), 3 and excessive net energy intake and unhealthy diets overweight/obesity). Despite significant progress, 795 million people still are not getting the minimum dietary energy needs. The majority of these people are in Sub-Saharan Africa, in which 1 in 4 people are hungry; and in South Asia, in which 1 in 6 people are hungry. More than 2 billion people are deficient in key vitamins and minerals7 that are necessary for growth, development, and disease prevention. Globally, over 2 billion people are overweight or obese, two-thirds of whom live in developing countries. This issue clearly is not just a developed country problem. Energy and micronutrient deficiency are contributors to the 165 million children under 5 who are stunted and cannot grow to achieve their full potential. Globally, this number is equivalent to approximately 1 in 4 children under 5 years, with an even more concentrated situation in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (1 in 3 children). Arguably child stunting is one of the biggest development challenges. If not addressed it will profoundly undermine our ability to end poverty and promote shared prosperity.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOCALCIUMWASTESAFETY OF FOODFOOD LEGISLATIONRISKSAGRICULTURAL GROWTHPEOPLEFOOD SUPPLEMENTATIONMILLSFOOD HANDLINGHAZARDSVITAMINSPACKAGINGWHEAT FLOURPROTEINFOOD CONSUMPTIONPREVENTIONLAWSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONCALORIESLEGUMESMORBIDITYAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTPESTICIDEFOOD QUALITYCASSAVAHEALTH CAREFOOD POLICYSWEETENERSDAIRYHEALTHIFPRIAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSBREAKFAST CEREALSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHPESTICIDESFOOD SHORTAGESPUBLIC HEALTHLABELLINGKNOWLEDGEMAIZEDIABETESDIETSFOOD MARKETSCEREALSIRONLABELINGFOOD PREPARATIONGROUNDNUTCOOKINGFOOD SAFETY MONITORINGLOGISTICSMIGRATIONLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSFOOD TECHNOLOGIESFOOD PRODUCERSMARKETINGFRUITSVEGETABLESNUTSFOOD FORTIFICATIONMEAL PREPARATIONFOOD POLICIESGRAINSFOOD PRODUCTSBACTERIAMORTALITYFOOD PRODUCTIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSAGRICULTURAL POLICYSTAPLE FOODSFOOD SECURITYWORKERSAGEDHOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITYBEERSURVEILLANCELIFESTYLEFATSHEALTH EFFECTSHEALTH OUTCOMESORANGEHYGIENEFRUITNUTRITION EDUCATIONAGRICULTUREBEVERAGESDECISION MAKINGCHILD NUTRITIONNUTRITIONWFPEGGSFOOD COMPOSITIONFOODFOOD SAFETY SYSTEMSWORLD FOOD PROGRAMADOLESCENTSFOOD PRODUCERINTERNETRISK FACTORSFOOD LOSSESWEIGHTFOOD LABELINGCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESPOTATOESOBESITYCARDIOVASCULAR DISEASESCHILDRENFOOD PROCESSORSLIVER CANCERCORNSUPERMARKETSFOOD CROPSFOOD MARKETINGFOOD SAFETYFOOD SUPPLYWELLNESSPROCESSED FOODSFOOD SCIENCEMEATRESEARCH PROGRAMSAPPLESADDITIVESRESTAURANTSMEALWHEATFOOD PRODUCTRICENUTRITIONISTSSAFETY ISSUESEPIDEMIOLOGYVEGETABLE OILSSODIUMFAMILIESMEDICINESSTARCHFLOURFOODSPULSESIMPLEMENTATIONPREGNANCYCEREAL CROPSPOTATOBREASTFEEDINGSUGARReportWorld Bank10.1596/24104
