In this episode, Chief Economist Maximo Torero and David Laborde discuss key findings from The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) 2026.

The discussion highlights structural factors influencing diet costs and the impact of compound risks. It emphasizes the importance of social protection, such as school feeding programs, and investments in agrifood systems to improve access to nutritious foods. For more details, view the transcript.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is disrupting global energy and fertilizer markets, posing severe risks for millions living in extreme poverty. Ben Davis and Marco Knowles from FAO advocate for social protection as a more effective response than costly government subsidies.

They challenge the notion that cash transfers are mere handouts, presenting rigorous evidence that rural households productively invest them in agriculture, education, and local economies. Targeted social assistance, they argue, outperforms subsidies in both efficiency and reach.
