The world is facing two food crises at the same time. In parts of Europe, North America, and Asia, food production has surged, creating large agricultural surpluses. Germany recorded its biggest potato harvest in 25 years, while farmers across Western Europe struggled to sell excess produce. In the United Kingdom, dairy farmers reported milk prices falling by around 25 percent, and the United States harvested a record grain crop for the 2025–26 season. Meanwhile, hunger is rising sharply elsewhere. More than 300 million people in Africa faced hunger in 2024, with 318 million people worldwide experiencing acute food insecurity. Famines have been confirmed in Gaza and parts of Sudan. Palki Sharma tells you.
