Also, in 2020, a staggering 2.4 billion people, or more than 30 percent of the world’s population, were moderately or severely food insecure and did not have regular access to adequate food. In one year, this figure has increased to almost 320 million people.
Globally, 149.2 million children under 5 years of age, or 22.0 percent, were stunted in 2020, down from 24.4 percent in 2015.
