Outlook India published an article stating that today, over 800 million people face chronic undernourishment and over 100 million people are in need of life-saving food assistance. Former IFPRI director general, Shenggen Fan, said “COVID-19 is a health crisis. But it could also lead to a food security crisis if proper measures are not taken.” With more than 1.2 billion people undernourished, Africa is likely to face the worst food shortage of all.
