The world population has reached 8 billion and is expected to continue climbing at a rate of about 1% every decade until at least 2050. However, activities within the food system are increasing, putting pressure on planetary boundaries and the natural resource base that underpins food security for all. These activities are also accentuating the triple burden of malnutrition for many, and there is a pressing need for healthier diets derived from more sustainable food systems. Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from starvation, with approximately 25,000 succumbing to hunger every day. An estimated 854 million people are also undernourished. This discussion aimed at highlighting the global food security situation and the current status in Uganda.
