Abstract

The bout with hunger can be won by 2030 in developing countries when priorities are set right. The priorities of developing countries must be shifted from the quick fixes of hunger programs without a review to enhancing all existing local and regional food systems, coupled with an appraised local or national food defense plan, and a minimum nutritional benchmark of local diets based on a local or regional foods and nutrition data base systems. All these systems must be coordinated to yield a national food systems plan for action. To make our prize fight with hunger successful and more sustainable, these systems and plans must be reviewed and updated timely.
