WION published an article about the launch of the 2022 Global Food Policy Report. According to IFPRI, climate change, and food systems, the number of Indians at risk of hunger in 2030 is expected to be about 74 million if the effects of climate change are to be factored in it would increase to 90.6 million. These predictions were made using the IFPRI tool IMPACT. Recent estimates are that food systems contribute to one-third of the greenhouse gas emissions. Global food production will grow, however, regional differences mean that millions will still lack of food. Climate change will continue to affect food systems, so something must be done. The Report offers several solutions to step up efforts to reduce climate change disasters.
