Despite fast population growth, the amount of [food produced per person](https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/global-food?tab=chart&facet=none&country=OWID_WRL~OWID_SAM~OWID_NAM~OWID_EUR~OWID_AFR~OWID_ASI&hideControls=true&Food=Total&Metric=Food+available+for+consumption&Per+Capita=false&Unit=Kilocalories+per+day) has continued to increase. [Rates of hunger](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/prevalence-of-undernourishment-in-developing-countries-since-1970) — defined as not having enough calories to sustain a healthy and productive life — were estimated to be as high as 1 in 3 people in developing countries in 1970. Since then, rates have fallen substantially. However, as you can see on the chart, this progress has stalled over the last few years. In some regions, it has even reversed. In 2017, 7.6% of the world did not get enough calories. By 2022, this had risen to 9.2%. Conflict, extreme weather, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic [have all contributed](https://www.wfp.org/publications/state-food-security-and-nutrition-world-sofi-report-2023) to this reversal.
