6 July 2022, Rome/New York - Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 was released jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO) toda.
The report pointed out that the number of people affected by hunger in the world in 2021 has reached 828 million, an increase of about 46 million from 2020, and a cumulative increase of 150 million since the outbreak of the new crown epidem.
The latest evidence presented in the report shows that the world is moving further away from its goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition by 203

The report presents an update on the state of global food security and nutrition and provides updated estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy die.
Given the limited public resources in most countries of the world, the report also advises governments to try to reduce the cost of healthy diets by adjusting the way they currently support agricultu.

From the data point of view, the situation is very serious:
828 million people will be affected by hunger in 2021, an increase of 46 million from 2020 and an increase of 150 million from 201
The proportion of the world's hungry has remained relatively stable from 2015, but has risen sharply in 2020 and continues to rise to 8% in 2021, up from 8% in 2019 and 3% in 202
In 2021, about 3 billion people (23%) in the world will face moderate or severe food insecurity, an increase of 350 million since the outbreak of the new crown epidem.
Nearly 924 million people (17 percent) worldwide face severe food insecurity, an increase of 207 million in two yea.

In 2021, the gender gap in food insecurity will continue to widen, with 39% of women worldwide facing moderate or severe food insecurity, compared with 26% of men, a gap of more than 4 percentage points between men and women, up from 3 percentage points in 202
In 2020, the new crown epidemic and related prevention and control measures have hit the economy hard, and food consumer prices have risen according.
As a result, nearly 1 billion people cannot afford healthy meals, an increase of 112 million compared with 201

About 45 million children under the age of five suffer from wasting, the deadliest form of malnutrition and a 12-fold increase in the risk of child mortali.
In addition, 149 million children under the age of five are stunted due to chronic dietary deficiencies of essential micronutrients, while another 39 million are overweig.

The rate of exclusive breastfeeding has steadily increased, with nearly 44% of infants under six months of age worldwide being exclusively breastfed in 202 However, this is still far from reaching the 50% target by 203 Of particular concern is that two-thirds of children do not have access to the most basic and varied diets, hindering their possibilities to grow up healthily and reach their full potenti.
Looking ahead, even if the global economy recovers, nearly 670 million people (8 percent of the world's population) are projected to face hunger by 2030, similar to 2015 leve.
However, it was also in 2015 that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development set out the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition by 203

The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in infants under six months (31% to 48%) and the rate of stunting in children under five (22% to 20%) have improved significantly since 2012, but even this needs to be accelerated The speed of progress will make it possible to achieve the 2030 goa.
At the time of writing the report, the war in Ukraine continued, and both sides were major producers of staple food, oilseeds and fertilizers in the wor.
As a result, international supply chains have been disrupted and prices of food, fertilizer, energy and ready-to-eat therapeutic foods for severely malnourished children have ris.
Before the outbreak of the war, the supply chains of countries, especially low-income countries, were already adversely affected by the increasing frequency of extreme climate events, so the war could have a profound impact on global food security and nutriti.

“This report has repeatedly emphasized that conflict, extreme weather and economic shocks are the main drivers of food insecurity and malnutriti.
These factors are increasing, and they are resonating with rising inequalities,” said the heads of five UN agencies (FAO Organization, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO) wrote in the foreword to this year’s report, “The key question is not whether the negative factors will persist, but that we must demonstrate greater courage, Take decisive action to build resilience against future shoc.

adjust agricultural policies
According to the report, between 2013 and 2018, countries around the world provided unprecedented levels of support to the food and agriculture sector, amounting to approximately US$630 billion per ye.
Most of this support comes in the form of trade and market policies and financial subsidies, benefiting some farme.
However, this has largely created market distortions that, instead of generally benefiting all farmers, have damaged the environment while failing to promote the nutritious foods needed to produce healthy die.

However, this has largely created market distortions that, instead of generally benefiting all farmers, have damaged the environment while failing to promote the nutritious foods needed to produce healthy die.
This is partly because subsidies tend to target the production of staples, dairy and other animal-derived foods, especially in high- and upper-middle-income countri.
Rice, sugar and meat are the foods most supported by countries, while fruits and vegetables receive relatively less support, especially in some low-income countri.

With the looming threat of a global recession that could affect public revenue and spending, one way to boost economic recovery is to adjust support for the food and agricultural sectors, with per capita consumption of nutrients that have not yet reached the levels recommended for healthy diets Food skew.
Evidence suggests that if governments reorient their current resources to encourage the production, supply and consumption of nutritious food, it will further reduce the cost of healthy diets and ensure equitable access to more affordable healthy diets for a.
Finally, the report recommends that governments step up their efforts to reduce trade barriers to nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables and puls.
The heads of the five institutions stated:
FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu said: "In low-income countries, where agriculture is the lifeblood of the economy, employment and rural livelihoods, there are few public resources available for adjustme.
FAO is committed to working closely to help these governments Explore opportunities, widely expand public service channels, and support the development of various entities in the agri-food syst.

All parties must redouble their efforts to ensure that the most disadvantaged children have access to nutritious, safe and affordable food food, and access to services for early prevention, detection and treatment of malnutriti.
The lives and futures of hundreds of millions of children are at stake, and it is imperative to set ambitious goals to improve child nutriti.
This is urgent and urge.
