In 2009, it reached the critical threshold of one billion hungry people in the world, partly due to rising food prices and the financial crisis, which was identified by the Mr. Jacques Diouf, Director General of FAO, a "tragic milestone in modern times." On the eve of the Summit on hunger, Diouf launched an online petition to reflect the moral outrage that is the situation.
