Global Hunger Stalled: A Pressing Challenge for Corporations
The UN's latest report paints a bleak picture: global hunger is not only persisting but worsening. The ambitious goal of eradicating hunger by 2030, set a decade ago, seems increasingly out of reach. Conflicts, climate change, and economic crises, coupled with deep inequalities, create a challenging scenario that demands an urgent response from the international community, especially large corporations.
It is unacceptable that, in the 21st century, one in eleven people worldwide is going hungry. The stagnation in the fight against food insecurity is a collective failure that requires a deep reflection on our priorities and actions. Large corporations, as powerful economic actors, have a crucial role to play in this context.
Key Questions for Large Corporations:
The stagnation in the fight against hunger highlights the need for a more systemic and collaborative approach. Companies, governments, and civil society need to work together to transform global food systems. It is necessary to go beyond point actions and invest in long-term solutions that promote sustainability, equity, and food security for all.
