FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva today presented a Diploma to His Excellency Nicolás Maduro Moros, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, during a special ceremony held at FAO headquarters in Rome. FAO is honouring achievements in combatting hunger and recognizing countries that have made outstanding progress in improving food security for their citizens. The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is one of 18 countries that have already attained the World Food Summit (WFS) target, having reduced by half or more the number of undernourished estimated in 1990/92. Countries were identified on the basis of FAO estimates of the Prevalence of Undernourishment and Number of People Undernourished published in 2012 issue of the 'State of Food Insecurity in the World', as well as additional information that has become available since the publication of that report. © FAO: http://www.fao.org
