The subject of this cycle of the award:

Total elimination of hunger

After decades of steady decline, the number of people suffering from hunger – as measured by the prevalence of undernutrition – began to slowly increase again in 2015. Today, more than 820 million people go to bed hungry, of whom about 135 million suffer from acute hunger. Due largely to man-made conflicts, climate change and economic recession.
The COVID-19 pandemic could now double that number, putting an additional 130 million people at risk of suffering from acute hunger by the end of 2020, according to the World Food Programme.
With more than a quarter of a billion people potentially on the brink of famine, rapid action is needed to provide food and humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable areas.
At the same time, profound transformation of the global food and agricultural system is needed if we are to feed the more than 820 million people suffering from hunger and the additional 2 billion people whose global population will increase by 2050. Increased agricultural productivity and sustainable food production are crucial to help mitigate the risks of hunger.
The World Food Programme's food assistance program provides a crucial lifeline to 87 million people at risk around the world. Their analysis of the economic and economic impacts of the pandemic identifies the potential impact of Covid-19 on the world's poorest people.
