ROME (AP) — The United Nations said Tuesday its 2009
headline-grabbing announcement that 1 billion people in the world were
hungry was off-target and that the number is actually more like 870
million.
The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization blamed flawed
methodology and poor data for the bum projection, and said it now uses a
much more accurate set of parameters and statistics to calculate its
annual estimate of the world's hungry.
