Repurposing food and agricultural policies to make healthy diets more affordable
The latest report reveals that between 702 and 828 million people were affected by hunger in 2021. The number has grown by about 150 million since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2022 edition shows that the total fisheries and aquaculture production reached a record of 214 million tonnes in 2020, making the sector play an increasingly important role in providing food and nutrition in the future.
