According to the 2010 Global Hunger index made by International Food Policy Research Institute, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were among states with “average level of malnutrition.” More than one billion people suffer from malnutrition in the world. The index of majority of former Soviet Union states is low, which means that situation is relatively favorable. However, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan marked average level of malnutrition. Minimum daily 1800 kilocalories are necessary for healthy and active life.
