A sudden, large-scale increase in hunger and food insecurity due to:
- Conflict and Economic Shocks: Ukraine conflict's impact on food production and trade.
- Climate Change: Repeated failing rains in East Africa, risking over 7 million lives.
- Soaring Food and Fuel Prices: Global increases affecting food availability and affordability.
- COVID-19 Pandemic: Lingering effects on global food supply chains.
