Summary
In just the past few years, we have seen a dramatic increase
in the number of people around the world who are trapped
in food crises. Conflict, climate-related disasters and overall
instability and insecurity are the main factors for why 124
million people in 51 countries were in food crisis in 2017,
up from 108 million in 48 countries in 2016.
This report builds on datasets and analytical approaches
that were first introduced in World Food Assistance
2017: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead. This year’s report
quantifies how short-term events and long-term factors
influence the outbreak and intensity of food crises.
Examining these phenomena through the lens of WFP’s
food assistance expenditures sheds unique insight into
both drivers and deterrents of food crises.
