According to the *Global Report on Food Crises 2022*, acute food insecurity is worsening globally.

Acute food insecurity is a condition where a person lacks sufficient access to food, threatening their life.

People experiencing acute food insecurity typically struggle to afford staple foods or suffer from acute malnutrition, potentially leading to death.

The *Global Report on Food Crises* notes a continuous increase in the global population experiencing acute food insecurity, reaching 193 million people in 2021.

This figure represents an increase of approximately 38 million compared to 2020, marking the highest level since 2016, as shown in the graph.

"This dramatic increase is primarily driven by prolonged or intensifying conflict, Covid-19-related economic shocks, extreme weather events, or a combination of these factors," as quoted from the *Global Report on Food Crises 2022*.

According to Maximo Torero, Chief Economist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the international community must prepare medium- and long-term strategies to prevent further deterioration in the future.

"In the medium to long term, actions are needed to enhance climate resilience and economic resilience to lower the price of nutritious food," Torero stated in a press release on Monday, June 20, 2022.

"The international community must develop a portfolio of actions involving innovation accelerators, better technology, science and data, and institutions with inclusive processes," he added.
