Globally, levels of hunger remain alarmingly high. In 2021,

they surpassed all previous records as reported by the

Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC), with close to 193 million

people acutely food insecure and in need of urgent assistance

across 53 countries/territories, according to the findings of the

GRFC 2022. This represents an increase of nearly 40 million

people compared to the previous high reached in 2020 (reported

in the GRFC 2021).
