Climate change’s scorch reshapes weather and boosts pollen production, threatening crops and fueling hunger for 160 million people in 2025. This Deep Dive traces the history of climate-driven famines, from 19th-century droughts to modern extremes like Ukraine’s war-amplified harvest losses. Data shows erratic weather—floods, heat waves, and storms—cuts global crop yields by 10%, while rising pollen disrupts pollination and reduces staple crops like wheat by up to 15%. NGOs like the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) promote drought-resistant seeds, and the CGIAR develops pollen-tolerant crops. Discover how to cool the scorch and secure food against a changing climate. Can we tame the fevered sky to feed the world?

Two wars, two hunger crises: Gaza and Ukraine face starvation under conflict’s clash, yet their stories differ starkly. This Deep Dive compares Ukraine’s disrupted grain exports, affecting 400 million globally, with Gaza’s near-total food blockade, where 2024 data shows 90% of residents face acute hunger. We trace Ukraine’s agricultural devastation and Gaza’s infrastructure collapse, highlighting NGOs like the International Rescue Committee, aiding both regions, and UNRWA, battling Gaza’s aid suppression. Discover why global attention and funding favor one crisis over the other and how to equitably address both. Can we feed all war’s victims, no matter the spotlight?

This Deep Dive traces the history of food waste from post-harvest losses in ancient markets to modern supply chain inefficiencies. Hear how rotting crops in conflict zones like Ukraine exacerbate hunger, and learn from NGOs like Food Forward and ReFED, which redistribute surplus and improve storage. Discover how to stop rot from stealing meals. Can we preserve abundance to feed the hungry?

Poor education muddles food security, with 60% of rural farmers lacking agricultural training. This Deep Dive discussion covers historical literacy gaps and 2025 data showing education boosts crop yields by 20%. NGOs like UNESCO support school feeding programs and farmer education.
