The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024

Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms

SOFI 2024 provides time-critical recommendations for more efficient use of innovative financing tools, and for reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Agreement on how food security and nutrition financing is defined, along with methods for tracking, measurement and implementation, is an unmissable first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all. The agendas of the Summit of the Future, scheduled in September 2024, and the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, due in June and July 2025, are both informed by the findings of SOFI 2024.
