The Global Hunger Crisis Must Not be Normalized

Our tolerance for inequitable food systems is growing, even in wealthy countries. There is still time to reverse course, but only if policymakers collaborate with civil-society organizations to support community-led food initiatives and to ensure that marginalized groups are included in decision-making at all levels.

BRIGHTON – From the 1960s until the mid-2010s, hunger was on the decline around the world. But, despite record food production, the trend is reversing, with around 828 million people affected by hunger globally in 2021 – an increase of 46 million from 2020 and 150 million from 2019.
