http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201307/201307070629306232329.mp3Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. He says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected.
The report says development in a sustainable way is important to ending poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people are still chronically undernourished.
U.N. officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%. That increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food.
Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.Willem Van Der Geest在联合国经济和社会事务部工作，他表示城乡需密切合作，这样一来食品供应便能得到保障，环境也能得到保护。
报告指出坚持可持续发展对消除贫穷至关重要。报告还调查了影响全世界数亿人口的食品安全问题，（目前全球）八分之一的人依然长期营养不良。
联合国官员称有些事情是显而易见的。经济发展助理秘书长Shamshad Akhtar表示，世界粮食产量还需增长70%，只有这个增长量才能解决本世纪中期地球上额外增加的23亿人口的吃饭问题。她说实现该目标的一个重要环节就是减少浪费。
食品与营养安全是可持续发展议程上的核心内容。
