Building resilience to withstand these shocks is crucial to prevent vulnerable communities from sliding further into poverty.

The world already produces enough food to nourish everyone, yet 645 million people still face hunger. As conflict, economic instability and climate shocks strain food systems, ensuring reliable access to affordable, nutritious food for everyone is a must. Through innovation and traditional knowledge, we can support access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food, while protecting the resources for future generations. #WorldFoodDay

Women are responsible for half of the world's food production, yet own just 15% of agricultural land.

In August 2026, a flash flood swept through northern Nepal, tearing through homes, farmland and businesses. Families fled with little warning. Across affected communities, people need new sources of income to pay rent, buy food, support their families and rebuild their lives. UNDP is working with the government to recover livelihoods, support debris management, restore local services and reduce future risks. https://go.undp.org/NFr
