Hunger & Starvation Myth #4: 

The world community has no commitment to end hunger.

The world has committed itself to this goal. At the 1990 World Summit for Children and at a series of global conferences, including the Earth Summit in Rio, the Population Conference in Cairo, the Social Development Summit in Copenhagen and the Women's Conference in Beijing, the world community has committed itself time and again to meeting a series of goals that would result in the end of hunger on our planet. 

In September 2000, the leaders of 189 nations committed to achieve specific results by 2015 in eight major areas that have come to be known as the “Millennium Development Goals.” The commitment to end world hunger is one of the Millennium Development Goals established by the United Nations.
