Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in Peru as it hosts this year’s APEC Leaders’ Meeting. Tackling hunger is a top concern for APEC economies, and recent findings by the Global Hunger Index highlight the challenges that Peru continues to face in this arena.
The Global Hunger Index’s latest study reveals that despite economic growth and development efforts, many Peruvians still struggle with food insecurity. This persistent issue underscores the importance of collaborative efforts among APEC members to address hunger and ensure food security across the Asia-Pacific region.
As world leaders gather in Lima for the APEC Leaders’ Meeting, the spotlight is on strategies to combat food insecurity not only in Peru but throughout the member economies. Initiatives focusing on sustainable agriculture, fair trade practices, and investment in rural development are among the topics of discussion aimed at fostering long-term solutions.
Peru’s commitment to addressing hunger within its borders serves as a catalyst for broader regional collaboration. By sharing experiences and successful practices, APEC members can work together to alleviate food insecurity and improve the livelihoods of millions across Asia and the Pacific.
