1. The document discusses global issues related to food security, hunger, and malnutrition. Over 800 million people were estimated to be undernourished between 1990-2006, with projections of over 1 billion people facing hunger by 2009. 2. Population growth is not the primary cause of increasing hunger - global agricultural production has increased more than population since 1960 and there are enough total calories produced worldwide to feed over 9 billion people. 3. Food security has four key dimensions - availability, access, utilization, and stability. To be food secure, people must have reliable physical and economic access to sufficient nutritious food at all times.
