Initial Steps Taken to Address Global Food Crisis
Urgent Action Needed to Prevent Mass Starvation
Governments and international organizations have begun to take initial steps to address the looming global food crisis, as extreme weather events and geopolitical conflicts exacerbate chronic food insecurity.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has warned that global food prices have reached their highest levels in nearly a decade, due to a combination of factors including the effects of climate change on crop yields, the COVID-19 pandemic's disruption of supply chains, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
In response to the crisis, governments have pledged billions of dollars in aid, and international organizations are working to coordinate efforts to distribute food and provide other forms of assistance to vulnerable populations.
