After Zero Hunger, what's next?

In 2004, the Dominican Republic confronted a significant challenge in addressing widespread hunger following a severe economic and social crisis. The nation's stability had been compromised by a banking collapse in 2003, which resulted in diminished household incomes, rising poverty levels, and increased food insecurity across the population.

These conditions necessitated a strategic response to mitigate the impact of the economic downturn on the most vulnerable citizens. The discourse surrounding this period focuses on the historical context of these challenges and the subsequent efforts to combat food insecurity in the aftermath of the financial instability.
