After decades of slow decline, globalhunger began to rise in the mid-1990s and soared duringthe 2008 food price crisis. Had the previous trend of slowprogress been maintained, 413 million fewer peoplewould be hungry today.While the number of hungry people has thankfullydropped back from its 2008 high point of one billion,it remains higher than at any time before the crisis,and may well climb again in 2011 (see Figure 16).Perhaps counter-intuitively, around 80 percent of hungrypeople are thought to live in rural areas, where most ofthem work as small-scale food producers: farmers,herders, fishers, or labourers. 68 (See Figure 17) Theyare surrounded by the means to produce food, and yetthey go without.30
