Is a Global Food Crisis Imminent? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Around 780 million people are facing hunger this year, with 345 million facing starvation. The double whammy of war and climate change has reduced food production and strained supply chains.

Countries with ample supply are also struggling with sky-rocketing prices.

Are we heading towards a global food crisis? What can be done to avert this dangerous scenario? Palki Sharma tells you.

345 million people in the world facing starvation. What are the world leaders doing? Playing war games 😢

[eugenedaniels]

Thanks Palki. “It’s all about priorities”. Sadly the current priorities revolve around war, pride, egos, power, profit and greed.

[felixthecat]

Thank you for your effort to report on the important problems this world is facing and how stupid, criminal, and wasteful world leaders have become.

As this year has been declared the 'International Year of Millets', I think, many of the countries that face this hunger crisis should start growing millets. It is a lot more easier to grow (less demanding) as wheat or rice.
It is also far healthier than the two. People and countries should reduce their dependence on wheat.

This woman is inspiring.

If I grow up to become a powerful billionaire, the first thing I'll do with all that money is end world hunger

[Imperialist_India]

India's strategy for fighting famine, make more babies and be #1 in population. India's timing is impeccable.

[SohamGreens]

Indian Govt providing free food grains since last 3yrs to 800million citizens whereas the food is facing inflation.
I applaud our Government, Our Farmers and Tax payers for the same

[theuniversaltruth]

Why Russia banned Black Sea Grain Deal? It's an utterly inhumane move.

[scottanderson]

If you didn’t notice the food chain IS collapsing so starvation/famine/death is inevitable and much much sooner rather than later is inevitable-good luck ✌️

[syberawa]

Extended famine is a present reality. Extreme heat and raging storms worldwide have damaged crops and installations. Add shipping disruptions to round the scene. Most nations are preparing to try to avoid the inevitable a bit longer.

[michaelmallal]

Increasing world population is urgent.

[JhabruTiger]

West will criticize INDIA if Local prices of rice in INDIA got increased & many people go to bed hungry, West will also criticize INDIA if it bans rice exports to stop these things happening.
Conclusion- India shouldn't give a sh!t about what west says, it should do what's best for it's own people not worldwide population cause they wouldn't give a sh!t if anything bad happen in INDIA.

[Punjraghav]

It is really commendable that you are covering this serious issue when we have a lot of stuff going in and around us which can drive publicity for the channel.

[ramaraocheepi]

Food is plenty availabl- is taken for granted but due to global warming /cilmate change, obvious decline in production. Further compounded by Ukraine crisis. Countries like US have large land with them but not being used for producing food but most of these countries keen on manufacturing. Analysis is insightful.

[naddirpatel]

Luckily for India, Modi and his team are in power; not the Congress party traitors.

[mahesh]

by 2050 earth gonna see massive food crisis

[arbabakram]

Hungry people will will make angrier world, that’s the objective and preplanned activities.

[roccscott]

Absolutely Right .... Government's of the World 🌎 can prioritize their money to help out with or preferably End World Hunger !! The U.S. should be one of the First to set an example.

[shyamalighose]

Y don't you talk about population control
