The hunger was for the last year about 690 million people, or 8.9 % of the world’s population, one can read in a report of the united Nations food and agriculture organization (FAO). This represents 10 million more people than in 2018, and $ 60 million more than in 2014.
“If the trend continues, it is estimated that by 2030, this number will exceed 840 million people,” said to AFP Thibault Meilland, senior policy analyst at the FAO. And this was without counting on the shock health and economic caused by the pandemic Covid-19, which generates a loss of revenue in the cascade, increases the foods, disrupts supply chains… According to the UN report, the global recession caused by the pandemic risk to push into the hungry between 83 and 132 million more people. “What are the assumptions still relatively cautious, the situation is evolving,” notes Mr. Meilland.
