UN Report Shows Global Hunger Declines but Africa Faces Highest Undernourishment
The 2026 UN report on food security reveals that global hunger declined for the third consecutive year, affecting 7.8% of the population in 2025, with significant progress in Asia and Latin America. However, Africa now has the highest number of undernourished people—309 million, or one in five Africans—and 66.6% cannot afford a healthy diet. The report highlights risks from conflicts, climate change, and energy market disruptions, which could threaten further progress toward the 2030 zero hunger goal.
