Barriers to ending world hunger by 2030

·         The Covid-19 Pandemic. The pandemic has shone a light on and deepened poverty and inequality everywhere. Many children were not able to attend schools where the received the only meal of the day. Many people are without jobs or income to purchase food.

·         Climate extremes.  Droughts prevent wheat crops from growing in North America and soybeans and corn in South America. Typhoons in Malaysia decrease the palm oil production which is needed for cooking ( Aizenman, 2022).

·         The Ukraine-Russian war. Ukraine and Russia combined provide 30% of the world’s barley and corn production that is fed to livestock. They also provide about 30% of the wheat supplied. Russia supplies 15% of the world’s fertilizer needed to grow crops and oil and gas that are typically exported via Ukraine (Aizenman, 2022). This war is decreasing food production and increasing the cost of production and transportation of its product that will inflate prices to the point of being unattainable by poverty-stricken populations.

·         Ukrainian refugees. Displaced Ukrainian citizens will join the masses of hungry people located in refugee camps who add to the growing world hunger population.  They are at risk for malnutrition, disease, and extreme poverty.
