An Inter -Egance Group of the UN -SOFI released its major report on Monday -“World 2025 (Sophie) in Food Security and Nutrition Status”.
The report estimates that in 2021, about 8.2 percent of the world’s population, ie, about 67.5 crore people faced hunger situation, which means not getting food. This number is 8.5 percent in 2023 and less than 8.7 percent in 2022.
There have been some improvements in Latin America and Asia, where Asia’s malnutrition has decreased by 8.2 percent and 5 percent in Latin America and Caribbean between 2022 and 2021.
However, 20 percent of African countries and 12.7 percent of the West Asian countries are facing the situation not getting the necessary food to survive. This is unfortunately a sign of continuous growth.
It is estimated that by 20 million billions of people can be seriously malnourished by 20, of which about 5 percent of people will be in Africa.
Somewhat relaxed, some concern
In the report, these figures, hungry, loading food, creating an infinite challenge to completely remove the condition of not getting food.
Among the infant nutrition indicators, dwarfs have decreased from 2022 to 5.2 percent among children under the age of five, but almost no change in the ratio of overweight or weak children.
Anemia in women between the ages of 15 and 49 has also caused special attention to the lack of blood and obesity in adults.
The important thing is that between 2023 and 2024, the worldwide food insecurity was slightly reduced. However, compared to 2019, more than 33 million people were affected by food insecurity in 2024.
Fisheries of Authorization
This report was published together: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Agricultural Development Fund (IFAD), the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), the World Food Program (WFP), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
These companies say that the inflation of the Covid -19 era, the war of Ukraine and the climate shock, hunger and food security estimates from the level of the epidemic.
FAO chief economist Maximo Toriro Cullen said on July 22 that the demand and inflation was increased due to financial and financial policies during the Covid -1 epidemic.
These factors increase food inflation quickly, with the restrictions of food and product trade and the ongoing climate of Ukraine, hinders food protection and nutritional reconstruction.
These conditions especially affect low and lower-medium income countries, thereby increasing food inflation more than the high global average.
Recommendation and requirement of money
In this report, to deal with global food inflation, policy measures recommend. These include the highest target financial systems, reliable and transparent financial policies to protect the most affected countries under control and control the strategic investment in the agricultural system.
Reports and agency leaders also mentioned the issue that there is a strong need for money to tackle global challenges.
Cindy McCain, executive director of the World Food Program, emphasized, “Hunger or food insecurity is still in a worrying stage, yet the required amount is decreasing.”
“Reduction of funds up to 5 percent this year means that billions of people will be deprived of our lives,” he said.
“Although a slight decrease in the overall level of food insecurity is welcomed, frequent failure to provide the necessary assistance to the needy will soon eliminate these achievements obtained by hard work. If this happens, there will be more instability in the rest of the world.”
