- The 14 August 1992 issue of Science has (p. 876) a table from an
- FAO report of 26 July 1992. Here's part of the table, for all
- developing regions:
-
- Period Total population (10^6) Chronically undernourished (%)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1969-71 2 609 36
- 1979-81 3 262 26
- 1988-90 3 938 20
-
- In each region, even though the population is increased, the
- fraction of the population that was chronically undernourished
- decreased.
