Global Report on Food Crises 2023

2023

This report from the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) provides a global overview of acute food insecurity in 2022 as well as individual country estimates of those nations affected by food conditions deemed either “stressed” or “crisis, emergency, or catastrophe/famine.” It also examines the major food crises of 2022 across the world—many of which were caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict, economic shocks, and climate and weather extremes. Within each country profile, the report provides a one-page infographic overview, a nutrition snapshot, information about the key drivers of that food crisis, and a specific outlook for the future. The number of people “in crisis or worse” increased to the report’s highest record—258 million people—up from 193 million people in 2021. The most catastrophic contexts of food insecurity, or countries with the highest numbers of people in crisis, are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Yemen. 

Supplementary resources include an interactive version of the report, a real-time HungerMap, and a report brief. The Global Report on Food Crises is an annual report documenting the latest estimates of acute hunger worldwide. The report is prepared by 15 global and regional institutions under the umbrella of the Food Security Information Network.
