40 Advocacies to Curb the Global Food Crisis
Even to the present, there is crisis in local sugar supply affecting many industries, services and products, from beverage to bakery products. Rice supply is critically low and the price, in spite of government intervention, is hardly within the means of ordinary citizens. So with onions, selected vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, and other food products, which continue to spiral with the current inflation rate, exacerbated by the Russian war in Ukraine, and conflicts in many parts of the globe, COVID-19 pandemic, and global warming. 
At one time, the world had just 10 weeks’ worth of wheat left. In less than three weeks, wheat could disappear from store shelves, suggested a food insecurity expert to the United Nations. 05/29/2022 / By Ethan Huff (Sources of news Insider.com; NaturalNews.com

6 - Food Crisis Series 7: Farmers' Museum (NFA Grains Museum)
Earlier this month, the humanitarian organization Oxfam released alarming statistics that measured the state of the food crisis after one year of the pandemic. Every minute, eleven people on the planet die of hunger. The number of people experiencing famine-like conditions globally has increased by six times in the past year.
Areas where corruption, inequality, and suffering have finally boiled over into war experience the worst aspect of the food crisis. In those areas where distribution and supply lines are severed, the food crisis has perpetuated beyond any semblance of control. In mid-June 2021, the number of people falling into the most acute phase of the famine stood at 521,814 across Ethiopia, Madagascar, South Sudan, and Yemen – up from 84,500 last year, an increase of more than 500 percent, according to the global report on Food Crises 20

2021 Global Report on Food Crises
The 2021 Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC 2021) highlights the remarkably high severity and numbers of people in Crisis or worse (IPC/CH Phase 3 or above) or equivalent in 55 countries/territories, driven by persistent conflict, pre-existing and COVID-19-related economic shocks, and weather extremes. The number identified in the 2021 edition is the highest in the report’s five-year existence. The report is produced by the Global Network against Food Crises (which includes WFP), an international alliance working to address the root causes of extreme hunger.
Earlier this month, the humanitarian organization Oxfam released alarming statistics that measured the state of the food crisis after one year of the pandemic. Every minute, eleven people on the planet die of hunger. The number of people experiencing famine-like conditions globally has increased by six times in the past year.
Areas where corruption, inequality, and suffering have finally boiled over into war experience the worst aspect of the food crisis.

A July report from Oxfam states 155 million people worldwide now live at crisis levels of food insecurity or worse – some 20 million more than last year. About two-thirds of them face hunger because their country is in military conflict. In the 55 food-crisis countries under review, almost 16 million children under age five were acutely malnourished, while 75.2 million children under age five experienced stunted growth. ~
