This document discusses hunger and efforts to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goal of halving hunger by 2015. It questions whether a petition to attract 1 million signatures will actually motivate political leaders to prioritize hunger. It suggests political leaders are already focused on achieving the MDGs but targets for reducing hunger prevalence may still be missed. The document argues the petitioners should propose practical solutions instead of just expressing anger, and that sustainable small-scale food production strategies could be more effective than current political approaches in reducing the number of hungry people worldwide.
