The 2024 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report confirms what many already feel: hunger is still a daily reality for millions. While numbers have slightly improved in parts of Asia and Latin America, the crisis in Africa is worsening, driven by escalating conflict, extreme weather events, and economic instability.

Globally, we are nowhere near reaching zero hunger by 2030. On our current trajectory, an estimated 512 million people will still face hunger by the end of this decade. That’s not just a failure of policy – it’s a failure of justice.

The solutions are clear: invest in resilient food systems, empower local producers, expand social safety nets, and support peace and climate action. But without pressure from citizens everywhere, leaders won’t act at the scale needed.

Take the quiz, get informed — and continue to speak out. Hunger is solvable, but only if we refuse to ignore it.
