relationship between people and food supply is not new.Agriculture is the most important production practice of the world.Despite the factthat during last five decades world food production has increased almost threefold,population has increased at such a rate in less developed countries that itovertripped the food production.The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)estimates that about 840 million people remain chronically hungry,nearly800 million of them living in developing countries.Every year hunger kills 12 millionchildren worldwide.Although the number of people suffering from hunger has beendecreasing,2·5 million per year over the last decade,but the World Food Summit's1996 target of cutting half the number of world's chronically hungry andundernourished people by 2015,will be met 100 years late if the present trend ofincrease in population coupled with poverty continues.There is enough food in theworld to provide at least 2 kg per person,including 1 kg of grains or its substituteper day and other eatables to make people fit,but the problem is that many peopleare too poor to buy readily available food.The global problem of food insufficiency iscausing undernourishment and malnutrition.  \nUndernourishment refers to the lack of sufficient calories in available diet,so thatone has little or no ability to move or work.The reason being,the body begins tobreak down its own stored fats and proteins.Undernourishment is more common inpoor countries.People receiving less than 90 percent of their minimum dietaryintake,on a long-term basis,are considered as undernourished.While not starvingto death,such people do not have enough energy for an active and productive life.These people are more susceptible to diseases and deficiency diseases like beriberiand anaemia due to lack of nutrients.Such people are weak and cannot workbecause of poor diet.On account of inadequate income they cannot afford goodfood.Since they cannot work,they cannot buy food for their dependent children.Thus,their children fail to grow properly and are likely to face impoverishment intheir adulthood.Those receiving less than 75 percent of their minimum daily caloricintake requirements are considered seriously undernourished.The undernourished  \nchildren are likely to suffer from permanently stunted growth,mental retardationand other development disorders.  \nMalnourishment refers to lack of specific components of food,such as proteins,vitamins or certain essential elements,required for the sound health anddevelopment of human body.Malnourishment can be caused both by over-nourishment to have excess food without a proper nutritional balance caused bylack of a specific dietary constituents or an inability to absorb or utilize essentialnutrients from the food.Poor diet may result in faulty nutrition causing lack ofappetite and abnormal absorption of nutrients by the gastrointestinal tract.Poornutrition and ill-health,in the long run,result in overall drop in quality of life andin the levels of development of human potential.Since people get
