Last Year, Action Against Hunger Made Monumental Strides in Ending Global Hunger

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2025 / In 2024, Action Against Hunger faced hunger crises head-on. We harnessed cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions to bring hope to the world’s most vulnerable communities.

With a child dying of malnutrition every 15 seconds somewhere around the world, it’s imperative that we pioneer and scale up solutions to address hunger’s causes and consequences. Every day, our team works in dangerous and remote environments, offering assistance to those who need it most. We’re working on the next frontier of hunger research, conducting over 30 research initiatives each year and co-creating solutions with the communities we serve. In 2024, we continued to advance some of our greatest inventions, including the SAM Photo App, a groundbreaking smartphone technology, new climate-smart agriculture practices, lifesaving crisis prediction models, inventive data-tracking tools like SMART+, and novel malnutrition treatment formulas that reach more people at a fraction of the cost.

Although 2024 was a year of dire emergencies – from deadly floods to catastrophic conflict- our teams, partners, and program participants persevered. In some of the planet’s most perilous regions, we worked alongside communities to build resilience and push for lasting change. We reach more than 21 million people in 59 countries each year, pioneering new innovations that harness cutting-edge technology to save lives. Thanks to our efforts, between 1990 and late 2010s, the global proportion of malnourished children. Our work is far from over. Today, hunger impacts one in 11 people. Conflicts in countries and regions like Haiti, Sudan, Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine left countless people dead or injured. Climate shocks in Kenya, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and throughout Central America has caused more families to face unprecedented food insecurity. But with continued research and innovation, it is possible to solve this crisis in our lifetimes.

What does this innovation against hunger look like today? We’re honored to showcase our top nine photos of 2024 to show you just that.

In Zambia, we developed climate-smart agriculture.

In February 2024, Zambia’s government declared a national emergency as communities faced the region’s worst drought in four decades. After the president called for international support, Action Against Hunger and partners heeded their call. There, we’re implementing a ten-year project designed to mitigate and prepare for the impact of climate change. This spring, farmers harvested their first batch of drought-resistant black-eyed peas.
