The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation says that almost 870 million people (out of 7.1 billion people in the world) were malnourished between 2010 and 2012. Nearly all of them (852 million) live in developing countries in Asia and Africa.
This independent learning resource lets students look at how nutrition and poverty are linked, how they form a poverty cycle many people, and what we can do to help break that cycle.
