The UN has warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in at least 50 years as the recession following the COVID-19 pandemic may put basic nutrition beyond impoverished people's reach. The organization has urged governments to take prompt action to prevent further disaster as 49 million more may fall into extreme poverty due to the outbreak.
Food systems are failing and the pandemic is mitigating the situation, said UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, on June 9, 2020.
"Unless immediate action is taken, it is increasingly clear that there is an impending global food emergency that could have long term impacts on hundreds of millions of children and adults."
Although harvests of crops are holding up and export bans and protectionism have been largely avoided so far, the worst of the pandemic's impacts and the recession that will follow is yet to be felt.
This year, about 49 million more may fall into extreme poverty due to the coronavirus as the number of people who are severely food insecure will rapidly expand.
"Even in countries with abundant food, we see risks of disruptions in the food supply chain," Guterres pointed out. "We need to act now to avoid the worst impacts of our efforts to control the pandemic."

Meanwhile, Bill Gates owns Cascade Investment LLC, which owns Los Arboles LLC, which changed its name to Cottonwood Ag Management LLC, which bought land in Echols County on the Alapahoochee River, a year after Bill Gates said he was going to fix agriculture in conjunction with Monsanto and Syngenta.
Plus another 144 acres in Parcel 028 002 owned by Lakeland Sands on the Alapaha River just outside of Statenville.

The company manages an agribusiness portfolio both domestically and internationally that encompasses approximately 250k acreas across multiple states with growing ..
That’s right, 250,000 acres across multiple states. Why?
I suppose this will solve the obesity crisis so there is a silver lining.
lol... me neither, but as long as the pandemic mitigates failing food systems I'm good.
i wonder if the people affecterd will protest by looting, murdering, assaulting and burning down food pantry’s to solve the problem? That seems to be the answer to everything according to the radical left-
Very very smart of you to do this.
Most of the rest of us will revert to bark soup if this stuff really happens.
“Food systems are failing” - this part I understand
“and the pandemic is mitigating the situation” - “mitigating” seems to be the opposite of the word that is intended here. “Worsening” is probably what was meant.
“Food systems are failing and the pandemic is mitigating the situation, said UN secretary-general.”
English is not this tards first language
The solution is for the UN to become a world government so it can take money from former Americans (The USA would no longer exist) and give it to lazy slobs.
I met him a couple of times funny as hell about one of the kindest person I have ever met
Their goal, like democrats. is to NEVER solve a problem. There is no reason to support something that no longer exists. And they are left powerless and in need of a real job.
Mitigating? More sick/dead people reduces demand?
Oh Bull Chit Michelle taught us all how to grow our own food
Do the Chinese own all UN officials?

As the 3600 year signature cycle progresses we will have more of the same such as floods in one area while having droughts in another, along with crazy weather patterns, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. All we can hope for is that we will be spared of the worst and so far, overall here in the US we have been relatively lucky.
