2.69 Billion People Cannot Afford a Healthy Diet, UN Report Warns
The Guardian·Wednesday, 29 July 2026
A new UN report finds that one in three people globally cannot afford a diet that meets their basic energy and nutrient needs. The total stands at 2.69 billion people, and experts say it will take 'immense' work to bring down the cost of fruit, vegetables, and dairy. Global hunger did decline for the third year in a row in 2025, but food affordability remains a deep crisis.
Why It Matters
India is home to a large share of the world's food-insecure population, and rising costs of nutritious food directly affect the health and productivity of millions of Indian families.
