Conflicts, extreme weather, and economic shocks are worsening global food insecurity, according to the United Nations. In a new report, the UN said global hunger rose in 2023 for the fifth year in a row, warning that millions more may go hungry in 2024. Tara Scully is Associate Professor of Biology and Director of Curriculum Development for the New Global Food Institute at George Washington University. She tells VOA’s Chinedu Offor, the food crisis is a global call to action.
