The Global Network Against Food Crises – a body primarily driven by the European Union and United Nations – has published the Global Report on Food Crises 2022.
The report notes that the number of people experiencing crisis-levels of hunger or worse across the globe rose by 40 million in 2021, with 193 million people in 53 countries or territories faced “acute food security”.
The report states that “The outlook for global acute food insecurity in 2022 is expected to deteriorate further relative to 2021. In particular, the unfolding war in Ukraine is likely to exacerbate the already severe 2022 acute food insecurity forecasts included in this report, given that the repercussions of the war on global food, energy and fertilizer prices and supplies have not yet been factored into most country-level projection analyses”.
