About the selection
Undernutrition kills more than 3 million children every year and leaves millions more
mentally and physically scarred for life. Moreover, every day one person in eight goes
hungry because they cannot find or afford enough nutritious food. Hunger and
undernutrition are enemies of human development and can cause conflict. When
people cannot create wealth, their countries’ growth potential is stunted. For countries
striving to climb the development ladder, this is a particularly harsh blow. It is clear,
then, that we need to make feeding an ever-growing global population a key
development priority. (Source: https://europa.eu/eyd2015)
