Effect of climate change: 9,000,000 Indians at risk of going hungry by 2030, report says (Bharat Express) 

May 17, 2022


Bharat Express published an article on results from the 2022 Global Food Policy Report. The Report showed that without climate change, 7.39 million Indians would have gone hungry by 2030 and that climate change will put nearly 23 percent more Indians at risk of starvation by 2030 due to reduced agricultural production and disruption of food supply chains. The projections were made under a model called IMPACT, which simulates domestic and international agricultural markets by looking at economic, water and crop patterns across the world.
