• Why The U.S. Can’t Solve Hunger

    33.8 million Americans didn’t have adequate access to food, according to the latest report from the USDA. That’s despite the fact that U.S. is one of the wealthiest nations in the world based on almost every metric. In response, spending on food assistance programs like SNAP has grown exponentially, reaching a record of $182.5 billion in 2021. But food insecurity has remained relatively the same as it was in 2001. So why are so many Americans still hungry and what can be done to solve it?

  • Hunger and weight loss in one of the biggest economies in the world - BBC Newsnight

    New figures from the Trussell Trust seen by Newsnight show the nature and scale of food insecurity across the UK. 11 million people - 14% of all UK adults or their households - have experienced it in the year up to last summer.

    Yesterday bosses of four of the big #supermarkets denied making too much #money from soaring #prices, telling MPs the industry is 'the most competitive' it's ever been.

    #Food inflation on things like bread, cereal, and chocolate has come down slightly, although remains very high at 18.3% - double the headline rate.

    Newsnight’s Economics Editor Ben Chu meets some of those most under pressure, in South Shields, North East England.

  • Famine to be declared in Somalia next month

    Following four consecutive years of drought, parts of Somalia are projected to enter a famine next month based on new reports about acute food insecurity in the region. Despite warnings from humanitarian groups for years about the dire situation facing the East African country’s 16 million residents, experts say, world leaders have essentially turned the other way.
