PUBLICATION: The State of Food and Nutrition in the World 2025. Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition. This report is the annual global monitoring report for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 targets 2.1 and 2.2 – to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. It presents the latest updated numbers on hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition, as well as new estimates on the affordability of a healthy diet. Previous editions have highlighted several major drivers of food insecurity and malnutrition including economic shocks, extreme weather events, the COVID-19 pandemic and conflict. While there have been signs of recovery in recent years, recent food price inflation affecting countries globally, has slowed this progress. This year’s report examines the impact of food price inflation on food security and nutrition. It includes analyses on the effects of food price inflation on different food groups and on the affordability of healthy diets. Analysis of country policy responses to food price inflation reveal patterns of successful policy interventions that have helped countries mitigate the impacts of inflation on food security and nutrition. While global efforts have become more effective, disparities across regions persist. The report reaffirms that food price inflation, though persistent, is not insurmountable. Building resilience will require sustained investments, stronger policy coordination, increased transparency, prioritization of nutritious diets, and ongoing institutional innovation.
Between 638 and 720 million people faced hunger in 2024. The FAO’s Hunger Map sheds light on the prevalence of undernourishment and food insecurity in each country.
