The past decade has been marked by multiple, often overlapping, crises. The COVID-19 pandemic, various natural disasters, and the ongoing war in Ukraine have all threatened the fabric of our global food systems. This string of crises has left an indelible mark. In too many places, progress in reducing poverty and malnutrition has been reversed, with long-term implications for people’s health and livelihoods. While in some ways our food systems have also proved surprisingly resilient, as both the private and public sectors have stepped up to meet new needs, the challenges are huge. As climate change worsens and geopolitical strife grows amid the threat of more frequent pandemics, crises may well become more common and more devastating. Now is the time to rethink how we address food crises. Many governments, donors, and international organizations have called for moving beyond humanitarian responses that are implemented only after a crisis begins, toward better prediction, preparation, and resilience building that will make future crises less devastating.
