Responding to Asia’s Food Crisis
Two-thirds of the world’s one billion hungry reside in Asia and the Pacific and rising food prices are bringing the specter of food shortages and undernutrition to millions more of the region’s poor.
In response to this regional food crisis, ADB has shifted its strategic focus from agriculture to a comprehensive multi-sector food security engagement with the goal of curbing food insecurity, particularly among the poor and vulnerable.
Key Statistics

people across the globe are undernourished
578 million (2010)

$2 billion
is ADB's annual engagement for sustainable food security for 2010–2012
