Today’s worldwide meals and nutrition crisis is becoming driven by climate transform, conflict, and soaring meals costs. Decades of progress in the fight against hunger and malnutrition have been reversed, as a lot more than 345 million people today are facing higher levels of meals insecurity in 2023 – a lot more than double the quantity in 2020.

For the duration of the 2022 Planet Meals Prize Borlaug Dialogues, the Chicago Council on Worldwide Affairs and The Rockefeller Foundation gathered authorities and stakeholders from climate, agriculture, meals safety, and humanitarian backgrounds to go over a bold vision for a 21st Century of zero hunger in a healthier and a lot more equitable planet. The resulting white paper, “Defining the Path to Zero Hunger in an Equitable Planet,” reflects a summary of their views and gives a framework to reimagine a hunger-absolutely free planet.

This white paper is the initial of 4 reports from The Rockefeller Foundation’s Worldwide Nutrition Safety portfolio, led by Catherine Bertini, former Executive Director of the Planet Meals Programme and 2003 Planet Meals Prize Laureate. The white paper identifies and analyzes 3 big obstacles—silos, myopic priorities, and major-down selection-making—and outlines options that address these challenges and make our meals systems a lot more sustainable, equitable and nourishing.
