Droughts and other shocks have driven hunger and food prices up across Africa. In 2022, droughts left 20 million Africans short of food; meanwhile, countries relying on Ukrainian and Russian grain saw staples like bread and oil become unaffordable. Yet many governments lack timely data on harvests or stocks, making it hard to respond when crises hit.
Climate change and supply shocks have driven a rise in hunger worldwide, highlighting the need for better forecasts. Smallholder farmers produce ~80% of staple crops in many regions but often lack localized climate projections for planting and irrigation. Global undernourishment rose from 572 M (2014) to 733 M (2023) due to climate extremes, conflict and pandemics. AI-driven predictive analytics are now being applied across food systems to improve resilience and efficiency.
