This summary version of SOFI 2022 highlights the growing global hunger crisis. Between 702 and 828 million people faced hunger in 2021, and nearly 3.1 billion couldn't afford a healthy diet in 2020. Undernourishment, food insecurity, and malnutrition indicators worsened due to COVID-19 and economic disruptions. The report calls for repurposing existing food and agricultural policies to reduce the cost of nutritious foods, emphasizing the need for complementary interventions, including trade reforms, social protection, and climate-sensitive strategies to ensure food system transformation.
