Work Step by Step

The emerging international food crises of the 21st century is due to inflation, the increase of cost of food. This is due to the rising cost of the things used to grow produce - fertilizer, gas for transport, labor etc. The emerging global food crisis is unlike any in the past because it’s driven by a convergence of multiple, intensifying threats that are compounding each other in unprecedented ways: - Conflict and Geopolitical Tensions - Climate Extremes - Economic Shocks - Mass Displacement - Humanitarian Funding Collapse - Food Waste and Inefficiency Unlike past famines that were often localized or temporary, today’s crisis is: - Global in scope - Persistent across years - Multifactorial, with no single cause or easy fix - Accelerating, outpacing our ability to respond It’s not just a food crisis—it’s a crisis of systems, resilience, and global solidarity.
