The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
A Few Key Statistics:
*Hunger is rising in Africa, where more than one in five people are affected.
*About 2.3 billion people experienced moderate or severe food insecurity in 2024. That is 336 million more than in 2019, before the pandemic.
*2.6 billion people could not afford a healthy diet in 2024. The global number has fallen since 2019, but affordability worsened in Africa and in many low-income and lower-middle-income countries (excluding India).
