Why is global food security increasingly under threat?

Global food security is like having enough snacks for everyone at school, but now there are more kids and not enough snacks to go around.

Food security means having enough food to eat every day, no matter what happens. But when things get harder, like the weather changes or farms have trouble growing crops, it’s like your snack bag gets smaller, and more kids show up at lunchtime.

There are now more people in the world than ever before, just like a classroom getting bigger every year. That means we need more food to feed everyone. But sometimes, farms don’t produce as much as they used to, it’s like your snack bag only has 10 cookies instead of 20.

Sometimes, the weather acts up, it gets too hot or too dry, and crops can't grow properly. This is like trying to bake a cake in a super-hot oven, the cake might not turn out right. When this happens, there’s less food available for people around the world.

So global food security is under threat because we need more food, but sometimes it's harder to get it, just like having more kids at lunchtime when your snack bag isn’t full.
