目前根据统计约8万万（0.8亿，如没记错）的人无法摄取足够的食物，1.3亿的人每日生存于少过1美元。当然粮食不足、饥荒并不是仅仅环境影响、收成不好而已。政治也扮演一定的角色。身为一位植物科学的研究生，我将尽我所能。大家将来吃东西时，想想他们，要懂得感恩。不要糟蹋食物。
Latest info from BBC News:
The latest estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that another 40 million people have been pushed into hunger in 2008 as a result of higher food prices.
This brings the overall number of undernourished people in the world to 963 million, compared to 923 million in 2007.
The FAO warned that the ongoing financial and economic crisis could tip even more people into hunger and poverty.
"World food prices have dropped since early 2008, but lower prices have not ended the food crisis in many poor countries," said FAO assistant director-general Hafez Ghanem at the launch of the agency's State of Food Insecurity in the World 2008 report.
