Dossier / Fame and COVID-19

Unimondo (Italy) published a UN report on how after a year of the pandemic has set global efforts to end hunger and poverty back decades, thus pushing away the sustainable development goals of the 2030 Agenda. In this dossier, we report some data provided by international organizations, a survey that involved thousands of families in difficulty, an appeal involving 200 realities from all over the world, and some food for thought on how much the food we produce pollutes. An IFPRI study concludes that globally there was no shortage of food and that the global food system might be able to absorb the shocks caused by the pandemic, in part due to global trade flows.
