A recent UN report predicts that by 2030, Africa will surpass Asia in the number of people facing hunger, the Guardian reported yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, 20.4% of Africa’s population is undernourished, while Asia accounts for over half of the world\u2019s hungry, with 384.5 million people affected compared to 298.4 million in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
