The world's hunger situation has deteriorated sharply in 2020, and the impact of the new crown epidemic may be the main reason for this situation
.
Although the impact of the epidemic has yet to be further evaluated [1], the report "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021" co-authored by a number of United Nations agencies estimates that about one-tenth of the world's population (811 million people) faced food last year.

This figure shows that countries urgently need to make great efforts and take immediate actions to promote the transformation of agricultural food systems in order to achieve their commitment to eradicate hunger by 2030

precise data
Around 2015, hunger has begun to show an upward trend, reversing the hope of continuing to eradicate hunger
.
What is disturbing is that in 2020, both in terms of absolute numbers and proportions, the number of hungry people is increasing sharply, and the increase exceeds the rate of population growth: it is estimated that the incidence of undernourishment last year was about 9.
9%, a high 8.

The number of undernourished people in the world will continue to increase in 2020

A total of 720 million to 811 million people in the world will face hunger in 2020

If the middle value is taken (768 million), the number of hungry people in 2020 will increase by about 118 million compared with 2019, and if the upper limit is taken, it will increase by 161 million

More than half (418 million) of undernourished people are concentrated in Asia; more than one third (282 million) are in Africa; and a small percentage (60 million) are in Latin America and the Caribbean

In terms of other indicators, the situation in 2020 is also very severe

In total, more than 2.
3 billion people (30% of the global population) cannot guarantee adequate food throughout the year
.
The incidence of moderate or severe food insecurity has soared in the past year, which is equivalent to the sum of the increase in the past five years

Various forms of malnutrition are still widespread, and children are severely affected
.
In 2020, it is estimated that more than 149 million children under five years of age are stunted or under-standard; over 45 million children under five are thin or underweight; and nearly 39 million children under five are overweight[3]
.
A full 3 billion adults and children still have no access to healthy diets, mainly due to excessive financial burdens
.
Nearly one-third of women of childbearing age suffer from anemia

On a global scale, despite progress in certain areas, such as the increase in the number of exclusively breastfed babies, the world is not yet on track to achieve all nutritional indicators by 2030

Other factors contributing to hunger and malnutrition
In many parts of the world, the epidemic has triggered severe economic recessions and endangered food access
.
However, even before the outbreak, hunger had begun to spread; efforts to tackle malnutrition were lagging behind
.
Countries facing conflicts, extreme weather or economic recession, or severe inequality tend to be more severe
.
The report pointed out that all these problems are the main factors causing food insecurity, and food insecurity will aggravate the severity of these problems [4]

The report also called for the creation of a "favorable governance mechanism and institutional environment" to make transformation possible

The report requires policymakers to solicit broad opinions; empower women and youth; and provide further data and new technologies

Most importantly, the author of the report urged countries around the world to take immediate action
.
Otherwise, the unfavorable factors that cause hunger and malnutrition will come back, the momentum will be even more violent, and it will have long-term effects after the epidemic is over

Note:
[1] Taking into account the uncertainty caused by the epidemic, this year's version proposed for the first time a range (720 million to 811 million) instead of a single number
.
For regional breakdown data, it is based on an intermediate estimate of 768 million
.
Regardless of considering the lower, middle or upper limit of this range, compared with the median of 650 million in 2019, the annual increase is very significant
.
If the upper limit is taken, it means that 161 million hungry people will be added

The report also called for the creation of a "favorable governance mechanism and institutional environment" to make transformation possible
.
The report requires policymakers to solicit broad opinions; empower women and youth; and provide further data and new technologies
.
Most importantly, the author of the report urged countries around the world to take immediate action
.
Otherwise, the unfavorable factors that cause hunger and malnutrition will come back, the momentum will be even more violent, and it will have long-term effects after the epidemic is over

Note:
Note: [1] Taking into account the uncertainty caused by the epidemic, this year's version proposed for the first time a range (720 million to 811 million) instead of a single number
.
For regional breakdown data, it is based on an intermediate estimate of 768 million
.
Regardless of considering the lower, middle or upper limit of this range, compared with the median of 650 million in 2019, the annual increase is very significant
.
If the upper limit is taken, it means that 161 million hungry people will be added
.
(The entire historical series data is revised annually based on new data)

Actual data for some indicators may be higher than estimated, especially the incidence of wasting in children under five years of age
