Tag: GLOBAL REPORT ON FOOD CRISES (GRFC) 2025

GRFC 2025 reveals 295 million people in 53 countries suffered from acute food insecurity, up by 7 million since 2023. Report published by Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC) and Food Security Information Network (FSIN). About GRFC Annual report on acute food insecurity and malnutrition. Acute food insecurity: Threatens life/livelihood due to food availability/access issues. Nutrition crisis: High levels of acute malnutrition in children (6–59 months) due to disease, poor food, and conflict. Key Drivers of Food Insecurity Conflict & Displacement Affects 8 million people in 20 countries (e.g., Sudan, Nigeria, Myanmar). 30.4 million global acute malnutrition cases (up from 26.9 million in 2023). Extreme Weather Events Affects 1 million people across 18 countries due to El Niño, floods, heatwaves. 95.8 million displaced persons in food crisis countries (75% internally displaced). Economic Shocks Affects 4 million people in 15 countries (e.g., South Sudan). Disrupts incomes, raises food prices, lowers access to nutrition. Funding Cuts 2025: USAID cuts threaten aid to 14 million children in countries like Afghanistan, DRC, Haiti. Weak Governance Poor healthcare, fragile economies, and lack of data worsen food crises. Socio-Economic Impacts Poverty Rise: Higher food prices erode purchasing power. Human Capital Loss: 735 million people chronically undernourished. 45% of under-5 child deaths linked to nutrition. Social Instability: Hunger drives civil unrest and climate migration (23.5 million displaced). Gender Inequality: Women make up 60% of chronically hungry (UN Women). Less access to land, credit, and aid. Education Impact: Hunger drives school dropouts. 6 million rise in out-of-school children post-2021. Suggested Solutions Nutrition Info Systems: Early warning systems (e.g., Somalia 2022–23 famine prevention). Integrated Food Security: Emergency agricultural aid (currently just 3% of humanitarian food funding). Use combined data to target responses. Climate Resilience: Climate-smart farming, peace-linked food systems, rural market rebuilding. Agrifood System Transformation: Invest in agriculture, food fortification, therapeutic nutrition programs, dietary diversity. GRFC 2025 warns of a deepening global food crisis. Urgent reforms needed in climate-resilient agriculture, nutrition infrastructure, and humanitarian response. Emphasis on Nutritional Equity, Gender Inclusion, and Resilient Food Systems.
