A világ népességének fele fog komoly
élelmiszerhiánnyal szembesülni az évszázadon belül. 14 (Washingtoni Egyetem
kutatói, Science folyóirat, 2009)
A terméshozamokat már szárazság vagy áradás
sújtja Oroszországban, Németországban, Kanadában, Argentínában,
Ausztráliában, Ukrajnában, Pakisztánban, stb. (2010. szeptember)15
Globális szinten az élelmiszerárak 5%-al
növekedtek 2010 augusztusában. Mozambikban a megemelkedett kenyérárakra
válaszul kialakult élelmiszer zavargások 10 halálesethez és 300 sérüléshez
vezettek. (2010. szeptember)16,17,18
A magas élelmiszerárakat, amelyek 2008-ban
világszerte halálos élelmiszer zavargásokat robbantottak ki, az
éghajlatváltozás, valamint India és Kína népességének állati takarmány
iránti megnövekedett kereslete együttesen okozták. (ENSZ Világélelmezési
Program)19
Az éhezéstől szenvedő emberek száma 2009-ben
először haladta meg az 1 milliárdot. 20
Világszerte több mint 9 millió ember hal meg minden
évben éhínség és alultápláltság következtében. Öt millió gyerek. 21
