Global Food Crisis
The global food crisis refers to a situation where many people around the world face severe shortages of food, often leading to hunger and malnutrition. This can result from various factors, including climate change, conflict, economic instability, and disruptions in supply chains (like those seen during the COVID-19 pandemic). High prices and reduced agricultural productivity further worsen the situation, making it challenging for vulnerable populations to access sufficient and nutritious food. Addressing the crisis requires coordinated efforts in sustainable farming, economic support, and international cooperation to ensure food security for all.
