Den Hunger beenden, die Einkommen steigern und das Klima schützen: Was würde das die Geldgeber kosten?
Summary
The report finds that donors must double their current annual contributions to food security, adding 14 billion USD per year, while low- and middle-income countries must provide an additional 19 billion USD annually through taxes. These combined investments of 33 billion USD per year would prevent 490 million people from hunger and double the incomes of 545 million smallholders. The analysis emphasizes that Africa has the highest need for these funds and recommends a balanced investment strategy across three categories: enabling inclusion, on-farm productivity, and post-harvest food systems.
Key insights
- To achieve the goals of ending hunger and doubling smallholder incomes while adhering to Paris Agreement greenhouse gas emission limits, donors need to contribute an additional 14 billion USD per year. This represents a doubling of current annual donor contributions for food and nutrition security, which average 12 billion USD.
- Official Development Assistance (ODA) alone is insufficient; low- and middle-income countries must raise an average of 19 billion USD more per year through increased tax revenues.
- The total additional public spending is estimated to save 490 million people from hunger and double the average incomes of 545 million smallholders, while keeping agricultural greenhouse gas emissions within Paris Agreement commitments. Furthermore, these public investments are expected to trigger an average of 52 billion USD in additional annual private investments from both small and large-scale producers.
- Africa is the region with the greatest need for additional funding, as it is projected that over half of the world's undernourished population will live on the continent by 2030. Two-thirds of the additional public spending required to meet the goals are needed in Africa.
- The optimal investment strategy requires a balanced combination of three intervention categories: (1) enabling inclusion (e.g., social safety nets and vocational education), (2) on-farm measures (e.g., R&D, irrigation, and fertilizer subsidies), and (3) post-harvest food systems (e.g., storage and rural roads).
- Early spending is critical, particularly for investments in Research & Development (R&D), which require more time to implement but offer higher long-term returns.
