The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises presents an alarming picture. 226 million people experienced ‘acute food insecurity’ in 2025, and there were two famines, in Gaza and Sudan, the first time that two famines had been declared in the same year. Over 35 million children were acutely malnourished in countries with nutrition crises.
For 2026 there is a risk of famine in South Sudan as well. And the conflict in the Middle East may well increase disruptions to global food markets.
The main reasons given for food insecurity were conflicts, insecurity and weather extremes. Behind this is a world based on profits, wars and environmental damage, where producing enough food for all is in reality perfectly feasible.
