Good Progress Against Hunger and Poverty
Next an editorial reflecting the views of the United States government.
接下来的一篇社论反映了美国政府的观点。
In 2009, President Barack Obama announced under
his
administration,the United States would prioritize alleviating
global
hunger, under-nutrition and poverty.
2009年，美国总统奥巴马宣布，在他的领导下，美国将优先考虑缓解全球饥饿，营养不良和贫困。
At the time, the global economic recession and rising food prices were
forcing ever more people into food insecurity.So, at the G-8 summit in
L’Aquila, Italy that year, President Obama committed an initial $3.5 billion to fight global hunger and poverty.
当时，全球经济衰退和粮食价格上涨迫使越来越多的人陷入粮食不安全。因此，在那年意大利拉奎拉八国集团首脑会议，奥巴马总统承诺初始投资35亿，以抗击全球饥饿和贫困。
Less than a year later, Feed the Future was born.It is an innovative
initiative based on the premise that development efforts are
most
successful when the beneficiary countries determine their own
food
security needs and contribute to the effort.
不到一年，喂养未来诞生。它基于一个前提：当受援国确定自己的粮食安全需求，并有助于发展实施，发展是最成功的。
Led by the U.S. Agency for International Development,the
initiative
draws on 10 additional federal departments and agencies
and
investments from private sector partnerships.
由美国国际开发署领导，该活动吸引了10个额外的联邦部门和机构及私营部门的伙伴关系的投资。
Today it is clear that Feed the Future coupled with other innovative US Government food security initiativesare helping developing countries
make substantial progress against hunger, poverty,
and
st year alone, Feed the Future
reached nearly 19
million households through assistance or trainingand helped bring new
tools and technologies, such as better seeds and fertilizers, to nearly 7
million farmers.
今天，很显然，喂养未来加上其他美国政府的创新食品安全举措为帮助发展中国家进行反对饥饿，贫穷，营养不足取得实质性进展。仅去年一年，喂养未来通过协助或训练帮助了近1900万个家庭并带来了新的工具和技术，如更好的种子和肥料，给近700万农民。
In fact, over the past five years in areas where Feed the
Future
works,the rate of childhood stunting, which indicates
chronic
malnutrition and leads to a host of developmental
problems,has
declined 9 percent in Ethiopia, 33 percent in Ghana, 25 percent
in
parts of Kenya,21 percent in some areas of Cambodia, and
14.4
percent in areas of Bangladesh.
事实上，在过去五年的喂养未来工程领域，童年发育迟缓的速度，这表明长期营养不良，并导致一系列发育问题，埃塞俄比亚下降了9％，加纳下降了33％，肯尼亚部分地区下降了25％，在柬埔寨的一些地区下降了21％，而在孟加拉国的地区下降了14.4％。
Honduras and Bangladesh have seen a steep drop in poverty rates,
and globally, more than 12 million children received
nutrition
interventions,such as vitamins and nutritional supplements, to
help
them grow and thrive.
洪都拉斯和孟加拉国已经看到了贫困率大幅下滑，以及全球范围内，超过1200万儿童接受了营养干预措施，如维生素和营养补充剂，来帮助他们茁壮成长。
