FAO warns on wars and climate effects on hunger
A report from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) revealed that global hunger has decreased to 7.8%, marking the lowest level since measurements began. Currently, approximately 645 million people worldwide suffer from hunger. However, this decline remains fragile due to ongoing conflicts and climate shocks, especially in Africa, which is the most affected continent, with 20% of its population experiencing chronic malnutrition. Additionally, about 2.1 billion people face moderate or severe food insecurity. The health of children is deteriorating, and adult obesity rates are rising, expected to reach 18.6% by 2030. The report also warns that the El Niño climate phenomenon could again drive food prices higher in 2026.
