\n\n“So if there’s enough food to go around, why has the global trend toward lower levels of hunger recently reversed<\/a>? “As of today, the world has no global shortage of food, but food is quite expensive and people’s wages have not adjusted yet,” said<\/a> David Laborde, a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute. “The main issue is that we have problems moving this food around, either due to the war or export restrictions<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, world food prices reached an all-time high<\/a> earlier this year, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price increases are the result of a concatenation of events stemming from the disruptions caused by\u00a0Russia’s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>, including price increases in fuels and fertilizers and blocked grain exports. In addition, the WFP\u00a0notes<\/a>, “Conflict is still the biggest driver of hunger, with 60 percent of the world’s hungry living in areas afflicted by war and violence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world with more than enough food to feed everybody, despotic governmental brutality and stupidity are once again causing famines.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
