                                In 2022, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that a staggering 61% of the population in Africa faced moderate or severe food insecurity. As recent data from various UN agencies shows that more than one in five people on the continent were chronically undernourished in 2024, the question of what percentage of people in Africa do not get enough to eat is more critical than ever.
