Recommendation

This noteworthy study from the Economist Intelligence Unit assesses the current state of food security around the world, which is coming under pressure as climate change, forced migrations and other threats loom. While some countries are making headway in the battle against hunger, others – including some among the developed nations – are losing ground on this front. getAbstract recommends this important report to entities in the public and private sectors charged with improving food security, and to anyone concerned with ending hunger locally and globally.

Take-Aways

  • While global food security has increased since 2007, variable economic growth, income inequality and climate change threaten to reverse the progress.
  • After four years of improvement, more than 60% of countries showed a drop in food security from 2016 to 2017.
  • Ireland leapfrogged the United States to become the nation with the best food security, while Brexit’s effects could make food less affordable in the United Kingdom, currently ranked third.
