What is population growth?Show answer
The world's population is rising, so more food is needed. This puts pressure on food supply and on the land and water used to grow it. If food production does not keep up with population, food security falls, especially in fast-growing, poorer regions.
What is conflict?Show answer
War and conflict disrupt farming: they destroy crops, land and stores, force farmers to flee, and block the transport and trade that move food to people. Conflict can quickly turn a food-secure area into a hungry one by harming both supply and access.
