In 2020, between 720 and 811 million people faced hunger, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
But what is Food Security? Food security measures people's access to nutritional and safe food, which is highly connected to climate change.

Extreme weather events are sweeping away farming communities. It's threatening the products we have long enjoyed.

We're calling on global leaders to do what is right at #COP27. The time for action is now. #TheClockIsTicking
