Summary
The FAO Hunger Map 2025 is an interactive visualisation tool and associated report presenting country-level data on global hunger and undernourishment. It draws on FAO's established suite of food security indicators to highlight where hunger burdens are most acute, supporting targeted policy and humanitarian response. As an institutional publication rather than a peer-reviewed study, its value lies in synthesising official data to inform strategic intervention and partnership decisions.
UK applicability
As a global-scale mapping resource, direct applicability to UK domestic food policy is limited; however, it is relevant to UK-based organisations engaged in international development, food aid, or supply chain due diligence in regions identified as high-risk for food insecurity.
Key measures
Prevalence of undernourishment (PoU, %); number of people facing hunger by country; food insecurity indicators
Outcomes reported
The resource maps the geographic distribution of hunger and food insecurity across countries worldwide, identifying regions with the highest prevalence of undernourishment. It likely reports on trends in food access, availability, and population-level caloric deficit.
