Abstract
IFPRI initiated an international consultation in 2006 on needed actions for the world’s poorest and hungry people. An
international conference, “Taking Action for the World’s Poor and Hungry People,” held in Beijing in October of 2007, drew
about 400 participants. The conference examined who the poorest and hungry people are and what new and different actions
are required to improve their welfare. This synopsis summarizes the ongoing consultations with the intent to come closer to
consensus for taking action.
