The UN General Assembly's Millennium Summit in 2000 discussed challenges facing the United Nations in the new century.  These goals, dubbed the Millennium Development Goals, outline targets for world health on issues ranging from child welfare to nutrition to disarmament.

Catherine Bertini, winner of the 2003 World Food Prize, reviews progress toward these global nutrition goals.

During the 10 years she was Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme, Ms. Bertini was credited with assisting hundreds of millions of victims of wars and natural disasters throughout the world.
