00:08 the world has seen record highs in global food insecurity

00:12 due to the impacts of conflict,

00:14 weather extremes,

00:15 COVID-19,

00:16 and more recently the war in Ukraine.

00:18 We know from the global report on food crisis that in 2022,

00:21 258 million people required urgent humanitarian assistance in

00:26 order to meet their basic food needs.

00:29 This is the highest recorded number in the seven-year history of the report

00:33 and the outlook is grim.

00:36 In order to address this worsening crisis,

00:39 in May of 2022,

00:40 the Global Alliance for Food Security,
