Summary (English)

The significant rise in food prices, together with soaring fuel and fertilizer prices, is an additional threat, on top of the damage already caused by COVID-19 and prior increases in hunger and malnutrition, to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SPIAC-B members call for social protection to be placed at the heart of national and international responses to the high food price crisis and for massively increasing efforts to achieve universal access to social protection by 2030.
