Nearly 193 million people were in Crisis or worse (IPC/CH Phase 3 or above) or equivalent in 53 countries/territories where comparable data were available in 2021 – as a result of intensified conflict, significant economic shocks and some of the most severe weather extremes in recent years, or a combination of these drivers. -

Joint analysis for better decisions
2025Also available in:
No results found.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). -
BookletAnticipatory action: Annual report 2023 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In 2023, about 281 million people in 59 countries faced high levels of acute food insecurity, marking the fifth consecutive year of rising humanitarian needs. Weather extremes were the main driver of food crises in 18 of these countries, and affected the food security of almost 72 million people. Such worrying trends, combined with strained resources, call for scaling up innovative approaches, such as anticipatory action, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of support provided to vulnerable agriculture-dependent households.This annual report highlights the proactive measures that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) takes to safeguard agricultural livelihoods and food security against forecast hazards and shocks. In 2023, FAO's anticipatory actions reached over 2 million people across 24 countries, focusing especially on mitigating the effects of El Niño-induced floods and droughts globally. This included the provision of tailored early warnings, trainings, drought-tolerant seeds, animal health support, and conditional and unconditional cash transfers, which have helped farmers and herders keep their animals healthy, sustain agricultural production and safeguard their food security ahead of climate extremes.FAO’s regional and national efforts – closely coordinated with partners at all levels – have been instrumental in establishing and implementing anticipatory action frameworks. In 2023, FAO was engaged in 29 anticipatory action protocols serving as effective tools to monitor priority risks and to inform timely interventions ahead of disasters.The report also emphasizes the need for pre-arranged, flexible financing to ensure timely anticipatory action implementation, and highlights successful collaborations with governments, international organizations and local communities. Looking forward, FAO aims to expand its anticipatory action reach, improve early warning systems and strengthen partnerships in the face of food crises.
