For the first time since 2017, the United Nations’ 2025 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) Report shows a long-awaited shift: global hunger is beginning to decline. This progress is fragile and far from enough, but it signals something powerful: change is happening, and a world without hunger is possible.
Still, an estimated 673 million people—1 in 12 across the globe—live with chronic hunger today. Rising food prices continue to put healthy diets out of reach for 2.6 billion people. Climate shocks disrupt harvests, conflicts fracture food systems and economic insecurity keeps families from accessing the nutrition they need. In regions like Africa, where more than one in five people face severe food insecurity, persistent inequalities and climate vulnerabilities underscore the scale of the challenge.
Hunger does not exist in isolation. It is woven into the fabric of issues we see every day: inequality, climate change, conflict and economic instability. But that interconnectedness is also our greatest source of hope. When communities, governments, investors, and global partners work together, solutions multiply. Progress accelerates when we invest in local leadership, strengthen food systems, and champion the people closest to the challenge.
