According to a report, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has certified the Dominican Republic as having achieved “Zero Hunger”. However, some have raised questions about the accuracy of this certification, suggesting that the issue of hunger is more complex than just statistics provided by a government.
One critic stated, “Poverty is not just a matter of money, and hunger is not an evil that can be overcome with numbers provided by a populist government to an easily manipulable organization of a world order in crisis and decline.” The critic’s statement implies that the certification may not fully reflect the reality of hunger in the Dominican Republic.
The FAO’s certification of “Zero Hunger” in the Dominican Republic has sparked debate about the true state of food security in the country. While the certification suggests that the country has made significant progress in reducing hunger, some argue that the issue is more nuanced and cannot be solved solely through government statistics.
