The Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC) 2025 provides consensus-based analysis on acute food insecurity, acute malnutrition and population displacement in countries/territories identified as having food crises in 2024. The report reveals that in 2024, over 295 million people across 53 countries and territories faced acute hunger. This is an increase of almost 14 million people compared to 2023, while the number of people facing catastrophic levels of hunger reached a record high. Furthermore, acute food insecurity and child malnutrition rose for the sixth consecutive year in 2024, pushing millions of people to the brink, in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions. The production of the GRFC is coordinated by the Food Security Information Network (FSIN) in support of the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC).
