Corona destroys the successes in the fight against poverty (Welt)

December 22, 2020


Welt published an article about how In the Corona year 2020, the number of hungry people will rise again for the first time after decades of slow but steady improvement. IFPRI is assuming price increases by an average of 20 percent during the course of the crisis. This is a manageable figure for consumers who only need to spend a small percentage of their income on food, but it is painful for people who need almost all of their budget to buy food.
