● Ending world hunger is one of the greatest challenges of our times. Across the globe, over 800 million people do not have enough food and 50 million people are facing emergency levels of hunger. The gender gap between women and men in food insecurity continued to rise to over 4 percentage points in 2021, compared with 3 percentage points in 2020. Children suffers most severe consequences of malnutrition.
● Hunger has its genesis in extreme poverty. To address the intertwined issues of poverty and hunger, South-South and Triangular cooperation in agriculture can play a key role. It can be leveraged to galvanize economic activity locally, regionally and at global value chain level, thereby creating jobs, improving income and livelihoods, spurring innovation and stimulating self-reliance and entrepreneurship in developing countries, which are all essential ingredients for overcoming hunger in a sustainable manner.
