人们普遍认为，世界粮食问题现在集中在撒哈拉以南非洲地区。许多非洲国家的粮食产量下降和反复出现的饥荒是最近关于粮食问题的许多工作的焦点。这篇论文对营养不良流行的证据进行了更持久的评估。总体结论是，没有确凿的证据证实长期严重营养不良在非洲大部分地区普遍存在的观点。
The predominant perception is that the world's food problems are now concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa. Declining food production and recurrent famine in many African countries are the focal points of much recent work on food problems. This paper assesses the evidence on the prevalence of undernutrition on a more permanent basis. The overall conclusion is that there is no firm evidence corroborating the notion that chronic and severe undernutrition is widespread in most parts of Africa.
