Food Security Index — November 2026: 29.7

The Food Security Index started the month at its lowest point of 29 on November 1. Tension immediately rose on November 2 when the index hit its peak of 30 as a worsening aid situation left displaced Sudanese worrying about famine warnings. With no calming events reported during the period, the index stayed elevated and averaged 29.7 overall. Other issues added to global pressure, including Ukrainian farmers struggling to sell their harvests due to war and drought. The month ended with the index remaining near its peak level.
