World Hunger: By the Numbers
世界饑餓:一些數字
Tomorrow, Oct. 16, is World Food Day, a day designated by the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1979 to bring attention to world hunger and
food (in)security.
明天，10月16日是世界糧食日(昨天了@@) ，
這天是UN糧食與農業組織(FAO)在1979年所訂立，為了提醒世人，饑餓與糧食(糧荒)
Flash forward nearly 30 years, and the world is facing not just a credit
crisis (as we watched the Dow tank last week), but an ongoing food-price
crisis that is proving catastrophic, particularly in the developing world, a
crisis that is causing riots and deepening the wounds of mass starvation.
經過將近30年，這世界不僅面臨了信貸危機(尤其我們看到道瓊上週的表現)，
還有個不斷惡化的糧食價格危機，特別在發展中國家，
這危機將會導致暴動或大規模的饑荒。
