The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026

Every year, this most intensely scrutinized of FAO’s reports presents the headline number of undernourished people around the world, while advocating for strategies against hunger and malnutrition. Following publication of the global report, a wealth of statistics is disaggregated into regional reports. SOFI is jointly produced with fellow UN agencies IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO. Digital editions of FAO publications are available on the FAO website as part of FAO’s Open Access policy.
