According to the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the right to food is part of the right to an adequate standard of living. Culturally appropriate food is built into that right.

However, in 2021, the United States and Israel were the only countries that voted against a United Nations committee's draft resolution that asserted food as a human right. This came after the number of people without adequate food rose from 320 million to more than 2 billion in the year 2020.

US and Western sanctions have long contributed to famine, disease and death, too.

What do you think is the solution to the global hunger crisis? Let us know in the comments.
