Individual essays by hunger researchers monitors and policy makers assess advances in achieving the Bellagio goals which are: 1) to end famine deaths especially by moving food into zones of armed conflict; 2) to end hunger in half the world's poorest households; 3) to eliminate at least half the hunger of women and children by expanding maternal-child health coverage; and 4) to eliminate vitamin A and iodine deficiencies as public health problems.</p>
