Notes:

Hunger is falling

This animated map shows the Global Hunger Index — a measure of undernutrition calculated by the International Food Policy Research Institute — across the world form 1990 to 2014. Red and orange countries have especially high levels of hunger and undernutrition, while green ones have lower rates. So it's encouraging to watch the globe gradually get less red and more green over the past 24 years.
