A recipe to end hunger: Food policies that adapt to climate change
In our age of conspicuous consumption and excess, it frightens us to know that one out of nine people – or 815 million children, women and men – remain chronically undernourished.
And according to recent reports, the issue has been getting worse, with the number of undernourished people worldwide increasing from 777 million in 2015 to 815 million in 2016.
So how do we build a recipe to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people have access to sufficient and nutritious food year-round?
It’s not going to be easy. Climate change is altering age-old farming traditions, affecting livelihoods in local communities, and small producers who bring healthy food to our tables. It is also triggering massive droughts and floods that put our global goal of zero hunger at risk.
