On November 12 2025, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) published a joint report that raises alarm bells about the state of global food security. Both agencies warn of a “shrinking window to prevent millions more people from facing acute food insecurity”.
The report identifies sixteen regions around the world where the risk of severe food crisis is growing. This could lead to major humanitarian emergencies if urgent and coordinated action is not taken.
