Video: Towards the end of hunger

A major new report by FAO, IFAD and WFP, the UN Rome-based agencies, has estimated the cost of investments needed to eliminate extreme poverty and hunger, the first two major goals of the proposed post-2015 global development agenda.

In this video interview, Kostas Stamoulis, director of FAO’s Agricultural Development Economics division, describes how a combination of social protection and pro-poor, largely rural investment, could sustainably end hunger and extreme poverty by 2030, the end date of Sustainable Development Goals.
