We Can Prevent a COVID-19 Hunger Crisis if We Look Back and Learn (IISD)

May 07, 2020


International Institute for Sustainable Development reported on lessons learned on preventing a hunger crisis. IFPRI estimates, in the blog post, How much will global poverty increase because of COVID-19? that an extra 148 million people will fall into extreme poverty if the global economy shrinks by 5% this year. It is this population’s access to food that most urgently needs to be protected.
