Action Against Hunger’s recommendations to adress the global impacts of the war in Ukraine on food security

Faced with the many ongoing discussions and initiatives following the outbreak of war in Ukraine — particularly those related to an emergency plan for food security (Food and Resilience Mission) announced by the French government following the G7, EU, and NATO summits — Action Against Hunger France (AAH France) wishes to share its analysis of the impacts already underway in the areas in which it operates as well as the elements to be taken into account in these international initiatives.

Significant support and positive short and long-term impacts for populations threatened by worsening food insecurity must be the main priority of any response. These initiatives must strengthen some existing mechanisms and include an in-depth transformation of our food systems to support and relieve those suffering from hunger.
