Direction for Questions 1-5 : Rend the passage carefully and answer the questions that
follow :
With a little effort and a little luck, the global community will soon he within reach of
massive victory; meeting the Millennium Development Goal of halving global hunger
between 1990 and 2015. Despite this, one-eighth of the global population (and nearly
one-third of those in Sub-Saharan Africa) remains chronically undernourished. Viewing
this stark reality in tandem with projections for rapid urbanisation, population growth,
decreasing water and land availability and an increase in per-capita food demands, it is
clear that the global community is at a crucial juncture and needs to reignite agricultural
development. Yet to succeed, we need to set aside a fondness for technological 'silver
bullets', and remember two truths: malnutrition is rarely about not having enough food
and food is not all that agriculture delivers. Academic scholarship has highlighted the fact
that food insecurity is often not due to inadequate food availability, but rather impeded
access and utilisation, often poverty-based. Upping production, which has grown
tremendously over the past half-century, will not decrease hunger if political, social and
financial barriers constrain access for the disenfranchised. ... Let's hope world leaders can
stomach this commitment; in so doing, they can make freedom from hunger a global
human right.
