LONDON, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 11th edition of the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) reveals a fragile global food system ill prepared to weather shocks like the war in Ukraine and this summer's heatwaves. The study from Economist Impact, supported by Corteva Agriscience, finds that insufficient investment and increasing volatility continue to drive the deterioration of the global food environment. This year's skyrocketing food prices and rising global hunger are not just the product of conflict and extreme weather; they are also the reflection of a worrying trend of declining resilience in our food system.

Key Points: 
  • This year's skyrocketing food prices and rising global hunger are not just the product of conflict and extreme weather; they are also the reflection of a worrying trend of declining resilience in our food system.
  • The world made big gains in food security from 2012 to 2015, with overall GFSI scores jumping by 6%.
  • However, structural issues and significant risks in the global food system subsequently led growth to slow, and for the past three years the trend in the overall food security environment has reversed.
  • "Recent shocks, like the Ukraine conflict and high food prices, are stressing an already fragile global food system."
