A new UN report, titled 'The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026,' indicates that global hunger is declining across continents. However, Al Jazeera reports that hunger levels remain higher than they were before COVID-19. Africa has now surpassed Asia as the region with the highest population facing hunger.

Coverage from Reuters, Bloomberg, and the WHO emphasizes that while hunger is easing, progress is threatened by climate risks, trade volatility, and El Niño. Politico.eu highlights UN claims that EU farming support is contributing to the higher cost of healthy food. AP News, the Los Angeles Times, and others report warnings from a UN agency head regarding conflicts and energy shocks.

Future outlooks include a worst-case scenario detailed by Fortune, where an energy and fertilizer shock resulting from an Iran war could push nearly 19 million additional people into chronic hunger by 2030.
