 Everyone across our food chain has an important role to play and that means you too. This year, we at FAO celebrate a different world food day. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates the situations adding tens of millions to the number of undernourished people. Across the world, 2 billion people do not have regular access to sufficient food. 750 million individuals are experiencing severe food insecurity and 690 million people are hungry. This is why we produce enough food to feed everyone. Yet many suffer from malnutrition. Today, on the world food day, we are calling for global solidarity to help all populations. We need to make our food system more resilient to withstand the climate shocks, to deliver affordable and healthy food, to nourish a growing population and to sustain the planet. We call for your action. Remember, our actions are our future.
