Growing hunger would spark a global refugee crisis, in which tens of millions of people would flood across international borders, the Director-General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, Dr Per Pinstrup-Andersen, said. The conference held in Washington dur- ing June is considered the most important food summit in 30 years. According to an IFPRI analysis released yesterday, 800 million humans now suffer malnutrition, 1.1 billion live in absolute poverty with incomes less than US$1per day, while the number of refugees has risen tenfold in less than 20 years. Food output has failed to keep pace with population growth in one third of all coun- tries, and almost one quarter of the world’s farmlands, pastures and forests are degrad- ed. The hotspots of degradation are in the Indus, Tigris and Euphrates valleys, the Asian ricebowl, the Himalayan foothills and East African highlands, the lower Amazon basin, and the periurban regions in Mexico and parts of Asia. Thirty-five countries are expected to face serious or severe water shortages by 2020.
