Malnutrition a threat to Kenya's growth

NAIROBI: Today, it is estimated that the world produces enough food to feed 10 billion people against a population of just over 7.4 billion people. Despite this, almost 1 billion people go hungry every day.

Over and above the 1 billion people who go hungry every day, another 1 billion people are undernourished, meaning that they suffer from a deficiency of calories or of one or more essential nutrients they need to live healthy and productive lives. The majority of these people live in the developing world; in countries like Kenya.
