and sisters, holds a plate with three tomatoes and a piece of pork sausage in Cite Soleil,
Haiti, one of the capital's worst slums, on World Food Day, Thursday, Oct. 16, 2003. Haiti
is the hungriest nation in the Americas, with 3.8 million people - nearly half the
nation's population - suffering from hunger according to the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) and living what the organization calls a 'silent' food
crisis in conditions of worsening poverty and a 'vicious cycle of marginalization' which
is 'eroding social, economic, infrastructural and environmental assets.' Haiti's
agricultural sector, whose productivity has been steadily falling, only produces about
one-half of its food needs. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel) |
