The given table illustrates the number of malnourished people around the world over nine years starting from 2000, and the line graph provides the cost of two grains in this time.
Overall, the number of people who are undernourished significantly increased over the period, and the cost of rice and wheat dramatically rose.
In terms of the table, there was a rise in the number of people who remained undernourished from 857 million in 2000 to 857 million in 2006. And the chiefly high rise occurred from 2002 to 2004 (nearly 10%).
As you can see from the line graph, the cost of rice slightly increased to about 300 dollars per ton between 2000 and 2006. At this time, the price of wheat fluctuated slightly from 200 dollars to 400 dollars and ended at 300 dollars per ton. This price of wheat increased four times to 1200 dollars per ton and the price of rice hit a peak at 900 dollars per ton. Thereby, the number of people that remained malnourished grew by 50 million between 2006 and 2008 and this ended at 1024 million people in 2010.
