Zero Hunger Goal off track | Sustainable Development Goals | United Nations Food & Agriculture

Press conference by Maximo Torero, Chief Economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), on the launch of the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report 2024.

Presenting the 2024 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Chief Economist, Maximo Torero, today (24 Jul) said, “we are still far off track towards the goal of freeing the world of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition by 2030.”

Talking via video teleconference with journalists in New York, Torero said, “based on the current trajectory that will put us by 2030, with the current conditions, in 582 million people which will still be facing hunger by 2030, and almost half of those will come from Africa.”

The report, he said, shows that there are “impactful” regional differences, noting that “on one side, we have South America, which have improved substantially. They have reduced in the last two years, 5.4 million people less in hunger. We have Southern Asia, which is also progressing, but we have Africa, which is significantly deteriorating over time.”

Africa, Torero said, “is a region with the largest percentage of population facing hunger more than 20 percent. And the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity is 58 percent, was nearly double the global the global average.”

Power outages internet, killing students. What are you doing, how many more bodies do you want to see, how many more mothers do you want to empty, how much power do you have, but you could not do anything, today there is no one with ordinary students. Mass shootings of students, yet there is no news, and you sit back and watch.😩😭😓
