Under the Same Sky: Food Supply and Requirements in Our World

While our world produces enough food for its 7.95 billion inhabitants, millions face hunger due to economic disparities and systemic inequality. Despite the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal to eliminate global hunger by 2030, recent trends depict a concerning reality – the world is off-track, and if current patterns persist, an alarming 840 million people could be affected by hunger by the end of the decade. This infographic illustrates food security inequality across 171 countries as of 2018, shedding light on the causes of hunger and potential solutions to address this urgent global issue.
