Our food systems are broken. We are in need of urgent change (Outlook India)

February 16, 2021


Outlook India published an article stating that today, over 800 million people face chronic undernourishment and over 100 million people are in need of life-saving food assistance. Former IFPRI director general, Shenggen Fan, said “COVID-19 is a health crisis. But it could also lead to a food security crisis if proper measures are not taken.” With more than 1.2 billion people undernourished, Africa is likely to face the worst food shortage of all.
