The World Food Programme is the largest humanitarian organization in the world, providing food assistance to people recovering from conflict, disasters, and the impact of climate change. The non-profit company is based in Rome, Italy. The Italian company aims to build a pathway to peace, stability, and prosperity for those in need. The organization faces a hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions, with the number of people facing acute food insecurity increasing from 135 million to 345 million in just two years. The impact of COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, and food price increases have exacerbated the challenging socioeconomic situation in many countries. Despite these challenges, the World Food Programme continues to provide nutritious food and diversified diets to those in need.
