Stating the obvious and what steps to take

True #foodsecurity goes beyond mere sustenance. It encompasses a comprehensive approach towards availability, accessibility, affordability, nutrition, choice, and quality of food. To achieve food security, we need to address systemic issues, advocate for equity, and create an environment where every individual can thrive without the fear of hunger or malnutrition. Food security in Africa is a long shot, but it is not impossible!

The latest SOFI report has just been released, and its findings are deeply concerning. Despite our shared vision of achieving a hunger-free world by 2030, the next 15 years pose a daunting challenge, as the results indicate a contrary reality. Shockingly, the report projects that over 600 million people, with a significant number being children, will suffer from malnutrition by 2030. Alarmingly, approximately 2.4 billion individuals, still lack consistent access to food. Among them, a staggering 900 million people face severe food insecurity. It is crucial for policymakers, donors, governments, and key stakeholders to place food security and fighting malnutrition at the forefront of their priorities. #FoodSecurity #GlobalHunger https://lnkd.in/d6jrjxXQ

More than a quarter of a billion people are now facing acute levels of hunger, and some are on the brink of starvation. That’s unconscionable. This seventh edition of the Global Report on Food Crises is a stinging indictment of humanity’s failure to make progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 2 to end hunger, and achieve food security and improved nutrition for all.

More than 13 million children in the U.S. were living in food-insecure households in 2022, according to the latest USDA data. This is a 44% increase over the previous year. We need Congress to pass a strong #farmbill that strengthens nutrition programs, especially: 🔹TEFAP, which moves healthy food from farms to food banks, and 🔹SNAP, which helps families facing hunger have greater purchasing power at their local grocery store. helpingfeedpeople.org Feeding America

The number of food-insecure households in the U.S. increased significantly in 2022, according to the USDA. Access to healthy foods should not be a luxury. A strong #FarmBill that invests in nutrition programs, like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), can help to support food banks and neighbors facing hunger. Tell Congress to listen to people facing hunger and pass the strongest possible Farm Bill! https://lnkd.in/e9QEadgN #FeedingtheCarolinas #FoodInsecurity #TEFAP #FightHunger
