Conflict-related food insecurity: Framing the global dialogue: addressing food insecurity as a driver of conflict and ensuring food security for sustainable peace - Security Council, 10045th meeting

Conflict is the main driver of hunger and starvation in conflict-affected countries. Armed conflicts disrupt food production and distribution, displace populations and destroy livelihoods. They also undermine coping mechanisms, including the distribution of humanitarian assistance, increasing community vulnerability to hunger and malnutrition. Conversely, food insecurity may increase tensions and violence in communities.
