From Crisis to Resilience: We Need a New Recipe to Combat Hunger

The state of global food systems teeters at a critical juncture, warns Olivier De Schutter, co-chair of IPES-Food and UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights. Recent UN data paints a grim picture: 122 million more people face hunger than in 2019, and projections suggest nearly 600 million could be chronically undernourished by 2030. Amid geopolitical tensions like Russia's actions affecting Ukraine's grain exports and climate catastrophes threatening global harvests, De Schutter critiques the industrial food system's priorities. With its focus on profits over human needs, and a reliance on a narrow crop base, it’s failing to ensure food access for all. He emphasizes the urgent need for transformation, advocating for resilience, diversified agroecological production, and more localized food system
