The human impact is staggering. At the outset of 2022, more than 190 million people had been driven into acute food insecurity.
United States chaired a Food Security Summit at the United Nations, which launched the Roadmap for Global Food Security.
More than 100 countries have signed on to the initiative that calls on them to take seven actions, which include increasing fertilizer production and investing in climate-resilient agriculture.
That announcement builds on the $6.9 billion in U.S. assistance to support global food security already committed this year.
