The world produces more than enough food to feed everyone on the planet. However, 783 million people still go hungry.
A GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS
After a steady decline for a decade, hunger is on the rise, affecting almost 10 per cent of the world's population. Conflict, climate change and chronic inequality are the main causes of the global hunger crisis.

acute malnutrition.
45%

are due to hunger and
related causes.
1.000
children die every day
from diseases caused by
dirty water and unhygienic
living conditions.
WHAT IS HUNGER?
Hunger is more complicated than empty stomachs. It is a multifaceted problem with many root causes and far-reaching repercussions. The first step to ending the global hunger crisis is to understand what it is and why it exists in a world of plenty.
