FAO Says Over 920 Million Now Considered Undernourished

There's new information today on the effects of soaring food prices around the world. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization says rising prices have "plunged an additional 75 million people below the hunger threshold." The FAO says that means there are now 923 million undernourished people worldwide.

FAO economist Kostas Stamoulis says Africa is bearing the brunt of the problem.
