UN Reports Stalled Progress in Global Hunger Eradication Efforts

Climate change, conflict, and economic crises hinder the goal to eliminate hunger by 2030, with Africa facing the most severe challenges.

733 million people globally faced hunger in 2023, with Africa having the highest proportion of undernourished individuals.
The number of people experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity has remained unchanged for three years, affecting 29% of the global population.
Regional disparities show some progress in Latin America, but worsening conditions in Africa and parts of Asia.
Experts call for increased international cooperation, targeted investments, and policy changes to address food insecurity.
Despite some improvements in child nutrition, global malnutrition and obesity rates are rising, complicating efforts to achieve 'Zero Hunger.'
