Such policies will contribute to children dying from severe malnutrition due to broken food systems, with shortages of food and water, stress, anxiety, fear, and dangerous chemical exposure.
Since the global pandemic began, access to food estimates show that food insecurity has likely doubled, if not tripled in some places around the world.
With global prices of food and fertilizers already reaching worrying highs, the continuing impacts of the pandemic, the political forces to realize climate change goals and the Russia-Ukraine war raise serious concerns for food security both in the short and the long term.
At a ministerial conference for food security on June 29 2022, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that worsening food shortages could lead to a global "Catastrophe".
Famine is a widespread condition in which a large percentage of people in a country or region have little or no access to adequate food supplies.
The real danger is that these numbers will climb even higher in the months ahead. The truth is that food innovation hubs, food flats, artificial meats and gene and mind manipulations will not be able to tackle the depressing state humanity is facing.
We need to act now to decrease food and fuel prices immediately by supporting farmers and effective food systems for nutritious food to heal the most malnourished in the population.
