Latin America and the Caribbean reach international hunger goals.

Latin America and the Caribbean have met both the 1C target of the Millennium Development Goals and the World Food Summit goal, according to the report Regional overview of food insecurity: Latin America and the Caribbean by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations.

"In 1990-92, Latin America and the Caribbean began the challenge of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with 14.7% of its population affected by hunger. By 2014-16 this prevalence has fallen to 5.5% and the region has achieved the MDG hunger goal. The region also met the goal of the World Food Summit (WFS) established in 1996, having reduced the total number of people suffering hunger to 34.3 million."​
