Abstract

Poverty anywhere can be a threat to prosperity everywhere. The problems of poverty, nutritional insecurity, hunger and malnutrition are paradoxically, more acute in the predominantly agrarian countries. The UNICEF statistics indicate that, of the total global population of 6 billion, 1.10 billion people belong to households that earn a dollar a day or less per person. Fifty per cent of these absolutely poor people live in South Asia, 19 per cent in Sub-Saharan Africa, 15 per cent in East Asia and 10 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean (Per Pinstrup, 1999)
