More than 295 million people globally experienced hunger and starvation in 2025 because of conflict, displacement, climate change and economic disasters.
The bad news is that things are going to get a lot worse. My latest research has found that by 2100, climate change could drive more than a billion people into food crises. This figure represents the total number of human beings alive today, as well as those yet to be born, who will experience at least one episode of severe food insecurity before the end of the century.
