Abstract: Achieving food security is a continuing challenge worldwide. The combination of climate change, violent conflicts, and other crises (e.g., Covid-19 pandemic and high inflation) has exacerbated food insecurity by disrupting food production and access to food. According to the most recent estimates, about 3.1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet (FAO et al. 2022). This implies that two-fifths of the population is food insecure, with a concentration in the low-income countries of Asia and Africa.
