In 2022, approximately 24% of the population in Africa—over 340 million people—faced severe food insecurity. This critical issue goes beyond simply having enough to eat; it is about ensuring that all people have consistent and reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food, a concept known as food for all in Africa.

According to a 2022 UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report, African nations consumed an average of 2,600 calories per person per day, the lowest of any region. This figure, however, represents a broad average and does not reflect the vast differences in caloric intake seen across the continent and between various demographic groups.
