During this webinar, the authors of the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) Report 2024 will present the findings and recommendations of the report. They will also discuss its implications for donors and development partners.

With only six years until 2030, SOFI 2024 draws urgent attention to the need for food systems actors to scale up investments in ending hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity. It highlights the fragmented nature of the financing architecture and calls for a more holistic approach.
