The United Nations warns that if current trends continue nearly 300 million people in Africa will be chronically undernourished at the end of the decade. In its annual State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report released on Wednesday the world body says around 733 million people faced hunger in 2023 with one in five being from Africa. Maximo Torero, the Chief Economist from the Food and Agriculture Organization says conflict, climate change and economic crises is taking a toll on the world and eradicating hunger by 2030 might be impossible to achieve.
