According to this year\u2019s Global Report on Food Crises, an annual report produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the overall global picture of serious food insecurity is getting markedly more serious. The number of people living in &#8220;stressed&#8221; food conditions has more than trebled in the last six years, meaning that around 253 million people worldwide are now at a point where another global or local shock could push them into far more serious circumstances. More worryingly still, the report details an increase in &#8220;acute food insecurity&#8221;, a category that the report defines as &#8220;hunger so severe that it poses an immediate threat to people\u2019s livelihoods and lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A high proportion of people living in the worst conditions of food insecurity reside in the same handful of countries that have led the FAO\u2019s report for several years. Among the world\u2019s hungriest people, fully 40% live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Yemen. Also telling is that across the report\u2019s seven annual issues, a total of 38 countries have been consistently recorded as in food crisis. However, in the ranking of the worst food crises of 2022, one country stands out as an altogether new emergency: Ukraine, where the Russian invasion and ensuing economic havoc has disrupted agriculture, supply lines and export routes alike.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the war in Ukraine is singled out by the FAO as a major new driver of food insecurity around the world, one that the report says \u201ctriggered an unprecedented peak in international food prices\u201d in the first half of last year. It is one of a number of conflicts that have. While Russia and Ukraine have struck a deal to make sure Ukrainian grain can be exported for now, as the FAO explains, both Russia and Ukraine are major pillars of the world food supply thanks to their production of fuel, agricultural inputs, and essential food commodities like wheat, maize and sunflower oil.<\/p>\n<p>And even with food prices coming down after the shock in the first half of last year, the Black Sea Grain Initiative remains highly fragile. Russia is still attacking civilian areas and infrastructure, and an anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian military positions raises the prospect that the internationally brokered deal could fall apart \u2013 with major ramifications for world hunger.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/05\/03\/world-hunger-worsened-in-2022-thanks-to-ukraine-war-new-un-data-shows\">Euronews<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/105987\/\">World hunger worsened in 2022 thanks to Ukraine war, new UN data shows<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[618,2467,559,402,606,607,608,589,671],"class_list":["post-113872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-data","tag-hunger","tag-ukraine","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-war","tag-world"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113872\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
