Global hunger will drop to its lowest levels ever this decade, by Peter Dockrill.

According to new projections, dropping food prices and rising income levels will improve food security in 76 low- and middle-income countries. Right now, 17 percent of the population in developing countries overall don’t have adequate access to food, but by 2026, that number should drop to just 6 percent, says the USDA. …

That means we’re looking at world hunger dropping from some 609 million people in 2016 to a projected 251 million by the end of the decade.
