Global hunger is the widespread lack of adequate food affecting populations across the world, whether from poverty, conflict, climate disruption, or failed infrastructure.
The term frames hunger as a systemic international problem rather than isolated local shortages: Organizations working to end global hunger focus on both emergency aid and sustainable agriculture.
