World Food Programme is on the frontlines of the world’s worst conflicts, going where others can’t to deliver lifesaving food in the hardest-to-reach areas.
In this unstable period where access to food is fought over, the risk of social unrest heightens.
When war erupts, instability forces people to find illicit and sometimes violent means of acquiring their necessities. With almost 60% of the world’s hungriest people living in conflict affected zones, conflict is the greatest challenge to Zero Hunger.Ĭonflict and hunger create a vicious cycle. World Food Programme works tirelessly to execute these solutions and end world hunger. For this reason, we include a sixth Zero Hunger solution: break the cycle of conflict and hunger. In addition to these five solutions, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) knows the majority of the world’s hungriest people live in conflict-affected areas. These Zero Hunger solutions can massively transform agriculture and food systems.
The challenge reflects five elements from within the Sustainable Development Goals which taken together can end hunger. In 2012, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the Zero Hunger challenge as the U.N. While this is the largest global food crisis in modern history, we have the solutions for a zero hunger world. We are at the crossroads of one of the greatest challenges of our time: How do we end world hunger? There are 828 million hungry people in the world, including 349 million people facing severe hunger.
