520 _aThe year 1977 witnessed a slowing down in the rate of growth of world food and agricultural production as compared with the two previous years. Viewed in a longer run perspective, the average annual increase in production since the beginning of the 1970s has been less than that in the 1960s, and far behind the DD2 annual target of 4% for the decade. In many countries, comprising about half the population of the developing world, the rate of growth of population outpaced the rate of increase in food and agricultural production. A disquieting aspect is that the slowest rate of expansion in production has occurred in the poorest developing countries, particularly those in Africa, where it is most urgently needed. Due to these unsatisfactory trends in production and little or no progress in the reduction of poverty, the number of people suffering from severe undernourishment is estimated in 1972-74 at 455 million, i.e. a quarter of the total population of the developing countries.
