Acute food insecurity is defined as when a person’s life or livelihood is in immediate danger because of lack of food. Recent data also confirms significant increases in the number of people facing acute food insecurity in 2020-2021. Reduced calorie intake and compromised nutrition threaten gains in poverty reduction and health and could have lasting impacts on the cognitive development of young children. Between 720 and 811 million people in the world went hungry in 2020, according to the UN report on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. Looking at the middle of the projected range (768 million), around 118 million more people were facing chronic hunger in 2020 than in 2019. Using a different indicator that tracks year-round access to adequate food, nearly 2.37 billion people (or 30% of the global population) lacked access to adequate food in 2020 – a rise of 320 million in just one year. Rapid phone surveys done by the World Bank in 72 countries show a significant number of people running out of food or reducing their consumption. Rising food prices have a greater impact on people in low- and middle-income countries since they spend a larger share of their income on food than people in high-income countries. Numerous countries are experiencing high food price inflation at the retail level, reflecting labor shortages, a sharp rise in the price of fertilizer, currency devaluations, and other factors. With economic recoveries slowing, COVID-19 uncertainties and disruptions continuing, and worsening fiscal capacity, the outlook for food and nutrition security for many low- and middle-income countries is of significant concern. Maize and wheat prices are 20% and 25% higher, respectively, than their January 2021 levels, and rice prices are about 21% lower. As of January 2022, the Agricultural Commodity Price Index is 25% higher than its January 2021 level. That hits poor and developing countries hardest, as they depend on food imports the most. While the outlook for global food supplies remains favorable, food prices are near all-time highs, and high transport costs are raising import bills. This brief looks at rising food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and World Bank responses to date. COVID-19 impacts have led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households in almost every country, with impacts expected to continue through 2022. Even before COVID-19 reduced incomes and disrupted supply chains, chronic and acute hunger were on the rise due to various factors, including conflict, socio-economic conditions, natural hazards, climate change and pests. 31, 2022 – Many countries are facing growing levels of food insecurity, reversing years of development gains, and threatening the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
