What are two Millennium Development Goals that deal most directly with hunger/malnutrition?

Why is "increasing income for persons in developing countries" not a part of the UN Millennium Development goals?

• We discussed this during an Economics of Development class. The professor stated that improvements of other development goals were always accompanied by an increase in income. I am not sure if this is completely true, however.

• Answer:

  Increasing income is not a goal per se: it is the accompanying rise in living conditions that is the real goal -- and although increasing income might be a good (or even the best) way to attain these other goals, it will always only be an intermediate target. E.g., if increase in income would be accompanied by a marked decrease in environmental health (e.g. as a result of large-scale indiscriminate industrialisation), then this increase in income is actually undesirable.
