As the world approaches the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - which include a goal of reducing the proportion of hungry people by half - the 2010 Global Hunger Index (GHI) offers a useful and multidimensional overview of global hunger. The 2010 GHI shows some improvement over the 1990 GHI, falling by almost one-quarter. Nonetheless, the index for hunger in the world remains at a level characterized as "serious." This result is unsurprising given that the overall number of hungry people surpassed 1 billion people in 2009.
