The analysis focuses on the cost of ending hunger through increased spending on social safety nets directly targeting consumers, farm support to expand production and increase poor farmers\u2019 income, and rural development that reduces inefficiencies along the value chain and enhances rural productivity. The research marks the first time that a multi-country macroeconomic model has been combined with household surveys. The authors found that it will cost on average an extra US$11 billion per year of public spending from now to 2030 to end hunger. US$4 billion of the additional spending needs to come from donors. The remaining US$7 billion will come from poor countries themselves. Importantly, this public spending will generate on average an additional US$5 billion of private investment per year until 2030.
