Hunger Hotspots - FAO-WFP early warnings on acute food insecurity - March to July 2021 outlook

[accessed 30 May 2021]

The FAO-WFP Hunger Hotspots report is a forward-looking, early[1]warning analysis of countries and situations, called hotspots, where acute food insecurity is likely to deteriorate over the coming months. These hotspots are identified through a consensus-based analysis of key drivers of food insecurity, and their likely combination and evolution across countries and regions.

Looking at the outlook period of March–July 2021, there are 20 countries and situations where there is a likelihood of further deterioration in acute food insecurity, due to multiple drivers of hunger that are interlinked or mutually reinforcing. These are primarily conflict dynamics, economic shocks, the socio-economic impacts of COVID[1]19, weather extremes and the diffusion of plant pests and animal diseases.

World hunger is not just hunger in the United States, India, China and Africa. It is hunger everywhere, in every single country and every single poor neighbourhood. The pictures of bloated children and parents looking through garbage to scrape something to eat are images that need to be erased off the planet. Talking about World Hunger should not be an option anymore, this time we should talk about fixing it and about actually doing something about it. Elaborating and discussing the article “Ten Things You Can Do to Fight World Hunger” could be a start. A start that one day we will see hunger as a thing in the past.
