The annual UN report, launched in the context of the ministerial meeting of the G20 Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty Task Force in Brazil, showed that some 733 million people faced hunger last year, equivalent to one in eleven people globally, and one in five in Africa.
The report warns that the world is lagging far behind the achievement of the second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), Zero Hunger, by 2030, as the world has been set back 15 years, with levels of undernourishment similar to those of 2008-2009.
Today, 733 million people in the world suffer from chronic hunger and 2.3 billion people from food insecurity, according to the UN report.
