Demands

Multiple, compounding crises have led to a dramatic rise in hunger and malnutrition. We need action to meet immediate needs AND we must break the cycle of crises.

In order to secure more sustainable, climate resilient, nutritious and affordable food systems, Hungry for Action is making the following calls to political leaders and multilateral donors.

Save lives now

• Provide the humanitarian assistance needed now to respond to prevent famine for the 49 million facing emergency levels of hunger or the risk of famine.
• Scale up cash assistance, including food and essential lifesaving services to reach millions of households in the most affected countries across the world.

Build resilience and secure the future now

• Overhaul the current model of food and farming that has deepened inequality, reduced resilience to shocks, and entrenched environmentally damaging practices.
• Double funding for climate adaptation.
• Invest in small-scale food producers.
• Improve nutrition through health, food, WASH and social protection systems.
• Cancel poor countries’ debts.
