The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition

SOFI 2025 presents the latest data and analysis on hunger, food security and nutrition worldwide, including updated estimates on the cost and affordability of healthy diets. 

This year's edition highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets.
