The 2025 Global Hunger Index is not just a scorecard—it’s a warning. Progress toward Zero Hunger has stalled, and at the current pace, the world won’t reach low hunger levels until 2137. This isn’t a failure of knowledge but of will. Hunger persists because political attention, financing, and accountability have faltered. The path forward demands leadership, equity, and the courage to treat hunger not as inevitable—but as intolerable.

The world is not starving for data, we’ve tracked hunger’s trends for decades. What we lack is the courage to confront the systems that manufacture scarcity in a world of abundance. SOFI 2025 is not just a report; it’s a wake-up call to end incrementalism and begin dismantling the political and financial structures that normalize hunger.
