                                According to the FAO, nearly 20% of Africa's population was undernourished in 2022, a figure that masks far higher rates in specific sub-regions and countries where 1 in 3 people in Sub-Saharan Africa are undernourished. This crisis is driven by a complex interplay of environmental, political, and economic factors.
