Global Food and Nutrition Crises
figures and trends
Past- End 2019
• Dire food security situation
• 135 M people in IPC 3+
• 183M people in IPC 2, on the verge
of food crises
Short-medium-term
perspective
• Negative impact of COVID-
19 on food crises (+35-
40%)
• Increasing conflicts, IDPs,
refugees
• Increasing trends and
impacts of shocks
(climatic, economic)
Longer term
perspective (2030-
2050 and beyond)
• If global trends
(Demography, Climate
change, Natural Resource
Degradation, Loss of
Biodiversity) are not
reversed food and nutrition
insecurity can only
progressively deteriorate in
the future – Major food
crises ahead
Number of people
in food crises
Time
3. Foresights: worsening trends
Food systems at risk…
3
a third more people in food crisis
(Update Sep.2020 in 11 hotspots)
Number of
undernourished
people should exceed
840 million by 2030.

Nutrition in the World –SOFI –

7. Global Network 3x3
Principles of the EU approach
in the spirit of the Global Network against Food Crises
7
8. 3 : three interlinked dimensions:
1. Data and Analysis - Understanding
food crises
2. Strategic Investment in food and
nutrition security
3. Beyond food – To account for shocks and
stresses not pertaining to the food system.
Fostering political uptake and functional
coordination across sectors to address other
dimensions of crisis scenarios
The “3x3” approach: three dimensions and three levels
8
3 : geographical levels of
engagement (based on the principle of subsidiarity
3 interlinked and synergistic levels):
1. National – country owned, within
national boundaries
2. Global level
3. Regional/multi-country : to account for
cross-boundary dynamics and complex
cause-effect relations that cannot be
tackled at national level

9. CONCLUSION
Need to address growing humanitarian needs by implementing
the humanitarian, development and peace nexus.
Need to tackle the complex and interlinked root causes of food
crises / food insecurity : Agri-food systems approach (UN
World Food System Summit 2021)
“Knowledge is never enough”: Global Public Good
Complementarity and not competition between the different
systems within the Global Network against food crises (cf.
Food Security Information Network producing the Global
Report on Food Crises, or the Early Warning Systems, the
Real time data, etc.).
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK TO THE FSP.
Notas do Editor
Idée centrale : les dégâts environnementaux touchent tous les pays, y compris les moins industrialisés:- Épuisement des ressources, réduction de la forêt, effondrement de la biodiversité, pollutions, dégradation des sols
Les ressources nécessaires non seulement à l’agriculture mais plus généralement aux équilibres environnementaux se raréfient :
Vous pouvez observer ici la réduction de la forêt au profit des terres cultivables avec les conséquences climatiques qu’on connaît
