The UN report “The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World” warns that around 821.6 million people went hungry in 2018 around the world. The figure indicates an increase of 10.6 million compared to the number recorded in 2017, which represents the third consecutive increase, after decades of decline.
The problem of hunger goes against one of the sustainable development goals – the 2030 SDG, which aims to have a world without undernourished people by this time. This goal is an “immense challenge”, says the report: “To ensure food and nutritional security, it is essential to have economic and social policies to neutralize the effects of adverse economic cycles when they arrive, avoiding the reduction of essential services such as health care, health and education”.
