भुखमरी के खतरे के कितने करीब है एशिया?

दुनिया की सबसे अधिक आबादी वाले एशिया की खाद्य श्रृंखला पर जलवायु परिवर्तन और आर्थिक संकट का क्या असर हो रहा है? डीडब्ल्यू के पॉडकास्ट ग्लोबल आईज़ में इस बार इसी विषय पर चर्चा हो रही है. होस्ट ईशा भाटिया सानन और विलियम ग्लुक्रोफ्ट इस बार बात कर रहे हैं भारत की जानीमानी अर्थशास्त्री जयंती घोष और सप्लाई-चेन रिसर्चर होसे मोंटेकार्लोस से.

एशिया महाद्वीप में खाद्य सुरक्षा से जुड़ी चुनौतियां बढ़ती जा रही हैं. संयुक्त राष्ट्र के आंकड़ों के अनुसार इस इलाके के 45 फीसदी लोगों को पोषक आहार मुहैया नहीं हो पा रहा है. जलवायु परिवर्तन, कोरोना महामारी और यूक्रेन में चल रहे युद्ध ने मिल कर इस आपदा को बदतर बना दिया है.

हमारे साथ जुड़ें इस चर्चा में और कॉमेंट्स में लिख कर हमें बताएं कि आपकी इस बारे में क्या राय है: क्या आपको लगता है कि एशिया भुखमरी की चपेट में आ चुका है?
