EICN Kuala Lumpur – Regional Policy Forum: A reflection on the challenges of global food security – Thank you

The world entered 2023 in a hunger crisis. The World Food Programme estimated that the number of people facing acute food insecurity jumped from 282m at the end of 2021, to a record of 345m in 2022. As many as 50m people began 2023 on the brink of famine. With governments still fiscally burdened from the covid-19 pandemic, and still grappling with resilient but slow economic growth, this number could increase in the coming months.
