The document summarizes key points from the 2018 Global Report on Food Crises. It finds that 124 million people across 51 countries faced crisis levels of food insecurity or worse in 2017, an increase of 16 million from the previous year. The main drivers of this increase were new and intensified conflicts, insecurity, and climate shocks. 18 countries with nearly 74 million food insecure people require urgent assistance. Conflict and insecurity affected over 72 million people in 23 countries, while climate shocks impacted over 39 million people in 23 countries. The food security situations in South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, and Northeast Nigeria were most severe.
"The world's 200 wealthiest people have as much money as about 40% of the global population, and yet 850 million people have to go
to bed hungry every night."
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s socialist president: “The problem is not the production of food … it is the economic, social and political model of the world. The capitalist model is in crisis.”
In our opinion, poverty is the main reason for hunger, weather is it poverty of an individual or of a whole nation. In developing countries, governments can’t afford to support those in need for food and water and in developed countries there are some individuals who can’t afford their need due to lack of education which caused them to be unable to look for a source of income.
Natural disasters can cause poverty too. Governments should be able to provide shelter and food for those people who their houses and belongings were destroyed by natural disasters.

A lecture in Quantitative Sustainability
It is often claimed that agricultural productivity needs to be increased in order to feed a growing world population. Food security depends on several factors besides the productivity, including waste/efficiency, energy crops, meat consumption, and global justice and equity. This lecture explores the issue of food security in its many dimensions and teaches how to use a high-level systems approach in sustainability science.

The Global Report on Food Security Crisis Webinar 8FAO
This webinar is part of a series of webinars on resilience organized jointly with the EU’s Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DEVCO) and the FAO strategic programme on resilience within the framework of the EU-funded FAO INFORMED programme.
In line with the indicative framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the recommendations of “The One Humanity: Shared Responsibility Report”, the European Union, WFP and FAO have joined forces to coordinate needs assessment to increase the impact of humanitarian and resilience responses through the preparation of the Global Report on Food Crises 2017.
This Global Report aims to enhance coordination and decision making through a neutral analysis that informs programming and implementation. The key objective and strength of the report is to establish a consultative and consensus-based process to compile food insecurity analyses from around the world into a global public product. The Report compares and clarifies results of food security analyses conducted during the period January-December 2016 by various partners and across geographical areas to provide a clear picture of acute food insecurity situation. In addition, a detailed food security analysis is presented for those countries and/or population groups facing high severity and magnitude of acute food insecurity based on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)/Cadre Harmonisé (CH) classification.

Conflict and civil insecurity are the main drivers of food insecurity in the region. However, peace is fundamental to food security and food security is fundamental for keeping peace. FAO's initiatives include: 1) Strengthening of capacities for developing coherent policy frameworks and investment programmes for sustainable food security and nutrition
2)Developing efficient evidence-based food security information systems for decision support systems; 3) Promoting the development of efficient and sustainable food systems with specific attention to reducing food losses and waste; 4)Promoting sustainable access of households to safe, nutritious and diversified food; 4)Building the resilience of households and communities and agro-eco systemsto anticipate, absorb and recover from the negative impacts of the man-made and natural shockswith Cash-for-Work and Food Production Assistance Programs.

How far has Africa gone in achieving the zero hunger target? Evidence from Ni...Olutosin Ademola Otekunrin
Sustainable Development Goal 2 is hinged on achieving zero hunger, worldwide, by the year 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are faced with extreme hunger often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we review patterns of Global Hunger Index scores across Africa from 2000 to 2018 noting advances and setbacks in the fight against hunger in relation to the underlying causes of hunger in these nations, using Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, as a case study. We also review selected policies of the Nigerian government and development partners aimed at reducing hunger in Nigeria and proffer solutions that can help actualise the target of zero hunger by 2030.
Presentation by Gustav Lindskog, Programme Manager/Specialist, Unit for Humanitarian Assistance, Thematic Responsibility for Food Security and Livelihoods, Sida
An information system on nutrition for the Ministry of Health of Sudan and the WHO Country Office is discussed in this presentation. During emergencies in Sudan, nutrition surveys and surveillance focused on therapeutic feeding programs (TFPs) at pediatric wards and supplementary feeding programs (SFPs) in internally displaced people at camps. The nutritional status of the community, however, was unknown. Over the long term, it will be necessary to collect information about communicable and noncommunicable diseases in Sudan. An update to the nutrition information system was recommended in this proposal without affecting existing sustainability conditions.
