Sowing Resilience
28 May is World Hunger Day, an opportunity for all of us around the world to play our part in ending world hunger, for good.
Climate change intensifies extreme weather events—such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves—that disrupt agricultural production, leading to reduced crop yields and increased food prices. As food prices rise, nutritious diets become less affordable, especially for vulnerable populations. In 2022, over 343 million people across 74 countries experienced acute food insecurity, a situation exacerbated by climate-induced supply chain disruptions.
Hunger and climate change are deeply interconnected.
The good news:
We can build a climate resilient future.
This World Hunger Day, we’re focusing on how combating climate change can ensure food security for all. By investing in farmers, we can create a world where healthy food is accessible, and communities thrive.
What Can We Do?
Climate change is intensifying food insecurity across the globe. Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and erratic weather are severely affecting food production.
However, there is hope. Climate-smart agriculture—techniques like drought-resistant crops and improved soil management—can boost yields by up to 30%, even in the most climate-vulnerable regions (FAO). By investing in these practices, we can ensure that food systems are more resilient and capable of feeding growing populations despite climate shocks.
Women are central to these efforts, as they produce up to 80% of the food in many developing countries (FAO). Empowering women farmers with access to resources, training, and markets can increase food production and build more resilient local economies.
Together, we can sow the seeds for a more resilient future—one where farmers are equipped to adapt to the changing climate, and communities can thrive in the face of adversity.
Take Action Today.
Invest in Farmers
When we support and uplift farmers, we're not just improving livelihoods, but strengthening entire communities. Thriving farmers lead to more resilient food systems and a brighter future for everyone.
