In reaction to the United Nations' 2025 edition of "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World" (SOFI) report launched today, showing only a slight progress in reducing hunger and warning that over half a billion people could be chronically hungry by 2030-nearly 60% of them in Africa - Emily Farr, Oxfam's Food and Economic Security Lead, said:
"We are witnessing the collapse of a moral contract. While some regions have seen some modest gains, the world is veering dangerously off track, leaving the poorest and more vulnerable behind. As top donors, including the G7, push through a historic 28% cut to aid by 2026, 2.6 billion people -over a third of humanity -still cannot afford a healthy diet. These are not just statistics. These are lives unravelling and futures stolen.
