Food Sovereignty under Overlapping Global Crises: Policy Action Pathways for Sustainable Food Systems
Citing 2024 data from FAO and other institutions, the review points out that more than 733 million people worldwide still suffer from hunger; the Global Hunger Index report shows that 9 countries are at the most severe level of hunger, while another 34 countries are classified as experiencing serious hunger, all located in the Global South. The authors argue that climate change, armed conflict, economic recession, rising food, energy, and fertilizer prices, and the long-term effects of COVID-19 are no longer independent challenges, but instead act together on food systems in overlapping ways. Using the HLPE food systems framework as an analytical lens, the review identifies five pathways: access to productive resources, production capacity and agroecological resilience, trade and market accessibility, food consumption and nutrition, and governance and institutional capacity. It also puts forward action recommendations for wealthy countries, governments of Southern countries, multilateral donors, humanitarian organizations, investors, and private enterprises.
