Annual Report FY2024 | The Global FoodBanking Network

More than enough food is produced across the globe each year to feed everyone. Yet, last year 1 in 11 people worldwide were hungry – 2.33 billion people faced food insecurity and 733 million were affected by chronic hunger. The rising cost of living, climate shocks, and increasing natural disasters and civil unrest only make the problem worse.

NOURISHING food to PEOPLE who need it the most,
building strong, resilient communities
AND reducing food loss and waste
for a more sustainable food system and a healthier PLANET.
