The pandemic sent global hunger soaring, but now the war in Ukraine is making the problem far worse. Since Russia and Ukraine together supply 30% of global wheat exports, a big chunk of the world is losing access to food.

Now the Rockefeller Foundation is trying to deal with some of these challenges with a US$105mil (RM443mil) plan to improve food access, make nutritious and healthy food more widely available, and advance production of food in ways that do not harm the planet.
