Although the starvation rate has fallen by almost half in the past 20 years, global starvation is expected to increase with rising food prices. (Anderson, 2007). Approximately 40 to 60 million people, mainly children, die from starvation every year. (Robins, 2012). Children under 5 years old are malnourished nearly 200 million people. (Robins, 2012). Many people may ask how developing countries like Africa can stop hunger or even solve them. The problem is that as more food is needed more food production is needed or it will be enough for everyone on the planet.
The Global Hanger Index (GHI) is a multidimensional statistical tool used to describe national hunger. GHI measures the progress and failure of worldwide hunger eradication.

In addition to the latest statistics on hunger and food security, GHI has different topics every year. The 2015 report contains articles on conflict and food security
