1 billion people seeks to reach HarvestPlus with biofortification by the year 2030 (Bouis & Saltzman, 2017).
75% of all biofortified harvested roots were consumed on-farm in 2015, according to HarvestPlus estimates (Bouis & Saltzman, 2017).
Between June 2010 and May 2011, international maize and wheat prices roughly doubled; food prices peaked in February 2011.
Up to 30% of the price increase in the first six months of 2008 can be explained by trade restrictions, according to IFPRI simulations with the MIRAGE model cited in the chapter.
60 million tons, equivalent to 2.7% of global production, was the approximate difference between global grain stocks in 2007-2008 and those in 2004-2005.
300,000 to 500,000 metric tons of basic grains are proposed as a humanitarian emergency reserve, about 5% of food aid flows of 6.7 million wheat-equivalent tons.
US$20 to US$46 per metric ton was the range of costs for holding food reserves reported for African countries, according to the review cited in the chapter.
600 million cases, 420,000 deaths in 2010 and 31 million DALYs resulted from 31 global food hazards causing 32 diseases.
1.3 billion tonnes of food are lost or wasted every year, equivalent to one third of the production intended for human consumption.
9% represents the undernourishment rate in El Salvador according to data provided by FAO (Martín Manzano, 2012).
