Food security and hunger

Enough safe, nutritious food for all

Society

Food security means that all people always have access to enough safe and nutritious food for an active and healthy life.

The challenge

Hundreds of millions of people go hungry, while many others suffer from poor diets. Conflict, climate disasters and high prices are the main causes.

In Pakistan

Although Pakistan produces large amounts of wheat, rice and milk, poor households often cannot afford nutritious food, and child stunting remains high. Floods and price rises make the problem worse.

Solutions

Better farming methods, reducing waste, social protection, nutrition programmes for mothers and children, and climate-resilient crops.
