US EditionUN Report Reveals Alarming Rise in Africa's Food Insecurity Despite Global Improvements
AFRICA, JUL 28 – Over 1 billion people in Africa, about two-thirds of the population, cannot afford a healthy diet in 2024, driven by conflict, climate shocks, and economic instability, the UN said.
- The 2025 UN report revealed that food insecurity is rising in Africa, where over 1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet in 2024.
- This rise results from factors including conflicts, economic instability, climate shocks, and food price inflation weakening fragile agrifood systems.
- The report noted that Africa’s prevalence of undernourishment surpassed 20%, with conflict zones like Sudan facing particularly acute challenges.
- FAO chief economist Máximo Torero emphasized the urgent need to change course, highlighting that agricultural output in many African regions is not growing fast enough to meet the demands of the rising population.
- Despite modest global hunger declines, the report concludes the international community remains far off track from eradicating hunger by 2030.
