Food crises and risks

This segment offers a comprehensive overview of major food security challenges through five dedicated pages: the Global Report on Food Crises, the Gaza Strip Crisis, the Ukraine Crisis, the COVID-19 Crisis, and Predicting Food Crisis. Together, these resources support informed decision-making for policymakers, researchers, and food security professionals.
The Global Report on Food Crises provides up-to-date analysis on acute food insecurity, identifying the most vulnerable populations and regions requiring urgent action. The Gaza Strip Crisis page highlights one of the most severe humanitarian emergencies, with famine conditions unfolding amid widespread hunger and limited access to essential services. The Ukraine Crisis page examines how conflict has disrupted agricultural production, trade, and global food availability. The COVID-19 Crisis page reflects on the pandemic’s lasting disruptions to food systems, including supply chain breakdowns, income loss, and rising food access challenges, many of which continue to impact vulnerable communities.
Finally, the Predicting Food Crisis page introduces innovative approaches to early warning. As traditional monitoring systems face growing constraints, new technologies such as artificial intelligence are being used to enhance forecasting and strengthen preparedness. This platform serves as a central resource for tracking and understanding global food crises.
