World is not doing enough to end hunger by 2030: UN -Shagun

-Down to Earth 

Food inflation on unprecedented rise triggered by COVID-19 pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war  

The world is moving further away from its goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030, according to a new United Nations report.

The number of people globally affected by hunger went up to 828 million in 2021, an increase of about 46 million since 2020. World hunger levels have gone up by 150 million since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, said the 2022 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI), released July 6.

Projections that nearly 670 million people, or 8 per cent of the world population, will still be facing hunger in 2030 — even if a global economic recovery is considered — are adding to the worrying situation.

These numbers are similar to 2015, when the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition was launched under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

After remaining relatively unchanged since the launch of the agenda, the proportion of people affected by hunger jumped in 2020. It continued to rise in 2021 to 9.8 per cent of the world population, compared with 8 per cent in 2019 and 9.3 per cent in 2020.
