To gain the nutritional substances that provide energy for activities, growth and other functions of the body in keeping the immune system healthy, food is essential for a human being. The United Nations global facts show that in 2020, between 720 million and 811 million persons worldwide were suffering from hunger, roughly 161 million more than in 2019.
A
staggering 2.4 billion people, reflecting above 30 per cent of the world’s
population, were moderately or severely food-insecure, lacking regular access
to adequate food; and globally, 149.2 million children under the age of five
(22%), were suffering from stunting (low height for their age) in 2020.
