Who at risk for hunger and malnutrition?WHAT CAUSES OF HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION?

Several population groups are especially vulnerable to hunger. These are children, rural inhabitants, slum dwellers.

In the developing countries, it is in the rural areas that the largest masses of the poor are to be found. It may seem paradoxical that a high proportion of those who live in the countryside - and who are actually involved in growing food - are undernourished but in times of shortage or crisis, rural areas are usually the hardest to reach with food and other supplies. Women, who are often active in food production as well as taking care of a family, are more likely than men to suffer from malnutrition.
