Food security index 2022

In many places around the world, hunger is worse than ever before. That’s the message of the In recent years, global food crises have been driven by a combination of conflict, climate change, and economic shocks. These factors have slowed agricultural production, hampered trade, reduced incomes, driven up food prices, and negatively impacted food availability and accessibility, especially in low-income countries. In 2020 and 2021, these conditions have been further exacerbated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine. Almost 40 million people across 36 countries faced IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) food insecurity or worse in 2021, with more than half a million people facing Phase 5 (Catastrophe) level hunger. The worst food insecurity was seen in Ethiopia, South Sudan, southern Madagascar, and Yemen; several areas in South Sudan fell into potential famine conditions at the start of 2021. In addition, over 230 million people across 41 countries/territories faced IPC Phase 2 (Stressed) food insecurity in 2021. These populations relied on food assistance and livelihood support programs to stabilize their food security and prevent them from falling further into hunger and poverty. As in previous years, conflict was a major driver of food insecurity around the world. An estimated 139 million people across 24 countries/territories experienced IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) food insecurity or higher as a result of conflict and insecurity. The report notes that this rep...
