Check out the Global Hunger Index article on global climate change and its effects on food growth and hunger around the world. With some 820 million people dealing with hunger, 149 million children stunted due to undernourishment, and 2 billion people with deficiencies in one or more micronutrients as of 2019, things are expected to get worse since crops are stressed in more regions around the world, topsoil in some farmland areas are becoming less productive and depleted of nutrients, and more areas are stressed with declining fresh water supplies (including the American west and southwest).
