A new U.N. report indicates significant progress in food security across Latin America, with the prevalence of undernourishment falling to 4.8% of the population. This improvement places the region closer to eliminating hunger, and specifically highlights the Dominican Republic’s recent achievement. The Dominican Republic is now the last country in Latin America to reach the international “zero hunger” indicator. This milestone signifies a sustained effort to address food insecurity within the nation. The report confirms a positive trend though challenges remain in ensuring sustained food access for all. This achievement positions the Dominican Republic alongside five other nations that have successfully met the same international standard.
