Food insecurity has been the center of discourse for a while in development circles, especially following the floods last year, but there is little that has been done on the ground to adapt and mitigate this challenge. With both internal and external drivers becoming even more pronounced, this should be treated as an emergency. The report’s Pakistan chapter, reveals that the country’s score has dropped from 38.1 in 2006 to 26.1 in 2022, yet the hunger level is still considered serious. There are a lot of external factors driving this trend of food insecurity, such as armed conflicts, climate change, and pandemics. Despite these external drivers, poor policy making and planning at the domestic level must be called out.
