Crisis conditions breed a virulent form of food insecurity, UN report says - The Globe and Mail

Crisis conditions breed a virulent form of food insecurity, UN report says - The Globe and Mail: "At least 22 countries in unique states of crisis are facing acute hunger issues, according to a new report by the United Nations food agency. These situations, however, are not due to sluggish development but result from what the UN deems “protracted crisis” conditions. Every country that made the list has played host to long-lasting political or civil conflict, been hit by recurring natural disasters, or both. The result? A deep brand of food insecurity that can’t be alleviated through traditional interventions such as delivering food aid or improving access to markets."
