Disasters cause $3.8 tn in crop loses over 30 years: FAO
Online Desk: Natural and man-made disasters have caused $3.8 trillion in crop and livestock loses over 30 years, the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization said on Friday. Floods, droughts, insect infestations, storms, disease and war have caused about $123 billion per year in lost food production per year between 1991 and 2021, the equivalent of five percent of total production or enough to feed up to half a billion people per year, the FAO said in a report.
