- Climate change. The impacts of the climate crisis such as floods, drought or heatwaves affect the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, aggravating poverty, world hunger and social tensions.
- Disasters. When an earthquake, cyclone, a hurricane or other disaster strikes, WFP is a first responder, bringing food and other life-saving assistance to populations that have lost everything.
- Inequality. Inequality drives global hunger by limiting people's opportunities and increasing levels of hunger. Increasing access to employment, finance and markets, for example, can lift people out of poverty very quickly, increasing their productivity and spending power, and stimulating local markets.

It is projected that more than 600 million people worldwide will be facing hunger in 2030, highlighting the immense challenge of achieving the zero hunger target. People experiencing moderate food insecurity are typically unable to eat a healthy, balanced diet on a regular basis because of income or other resource constraints.
Shockingly, the world is back at hunger levels not seen since 2005, and food prices remain higher in more countries than in the period 2015–2019. Along with conflict, climate shocks, and rising cost of living, civil insecurity and declining food production have all contributed to food scarcity and high food prices. Investment in the agriculture sec...

- Increase Sustainability and Build Resilience to Climate Change. Climate extremes are one of the main drivers of severe hunger. We have entered a ‘new normal’ where consecutive and extreme weather events – like droughts, flooding, hurricanes and cyclones – decimate farming and drive displacement.
- Address Poverty & Inequality Through Social Safety Nets. Poverty and inequality are the root causes of global hunger. Imagine being a mother who must forgo her daily meals to feed her children, or a farmer who must sell food rations in exchange for farming equipment.
- Help Rural Farmers Connect to Markets. One of the cruelest ironies of hunger is its disproportionate impact on small-scale farmers—the very people who grow food for a living.
Fruit and nut trees maximize food output while minimizing land and resource inputs, restore ecological balance to land damaged by misuse, capture and sequester carbon dioxide to offset global warming, and create habitat for small animals and birds. They are also more climate resilient than many vegetable crops.
