As part of his participation in the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) competition, Julian Agius Scicluna explores the global challenge of food scarcity and food security, highlighting that hunger is not caused by a lack of food but by unequal distribution and limited access. Despite the world producing enough food, around 673 million people still face hunger, showing the importance of better global cooperation and fair allocation of resources. The article also discusses how globalisation, conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, and instability in regions like the Middle East have disrupted food supply chains and made achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially Zero Hunger, more difficult. Julian explains that food insecurity also affects local communities that depend heavily on agriculture and are vulnerable to climate change and unpredictable weather. He further highlights the issue of food waste in Europe, showing the imbalance between abundance and need.
