El hambre y la pobreza absoluta continúan teniendo una mayor presencia en aquellos cityes en donde se generan productos agropecuarios: en las zonas rurales. Por ende, una campaña efectiva de erradicación de la pobreza debe estar enmarcada, entre otros factores, dentro de un proceso integrado de desarrollo rural. En las regiones rurales es posible garantizar la alimentación de forma sostenible, si existe una conjunción de los factores de desarrollo macroeconómicos, sociales y agrícolas.
