UN Report Shows Global Hunger Decline Amid Rising Diet Affordability Challenges
A UN report finds global hunger declined for the third consecutive year in 2025, affecting 7.8% of the population or 645 million people. Africa now has the largest number of undernourished people at 309 million, surpassing Asia. Despite progress, one in three people worldwide cannot afford a healthy diet, with diet diversity lacking. Risks from climate shocks, geopolitical tensions, and trade disruptions threaten future gains. The report emphasizes the need for increased efforts to achieve zero hunger by 2030.
