Global Hunger Crisis: 733 Million at Risk as Africa Struggles

The latest SOFI report reveals a troubling global hunger crisis, with 733 million people facing hunger in 2023. This number highlights a significant setback, bringing hunger levels back to where they were in 2008-2009. Africa is particularly affected, with one in five people struggling with food insecurity, while progress in Latin America and stability in Asia offer some contrast. The report warns that if current trends persist, 582 million people will be chronically undernourished by 2030, with half of them in Africa. We sit down with Gbadebo Odularu, CEO of No Hunger Food Bank, to discuss the report's findings, personal insights on the impact of hunger, and potential solutions. He sheds light on how hunger intersects with education and healthcare, the role of technology and innovative solutions, and the impact of climate change on food security. Odularu also addresses the effectiveness of social protection programmes and policy advocacy in tackling hunger. Watch now for an in-depth discussion on these critical issues.
