Poverty can have a long lasting impact on communities for many years. While it is not easy to disentangle all the components of poverty, one thing is clear – education, food, and livelihood are significant contributors to the poverty rate of a community.
The UN goal of eliminating extreme poverty for every individual throughout the world by 2030 is a key part of the Sustainable Development Goal. Between 2015 and 2018, global poverty was reduced, with the rate of poverty dropping from 10.1 percent to 8.6 percent. Predictions show that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the worldwide poverty rate increased from 8.3 percent in 2019 to 9.2 percent in 2020, making it the first rise in severe poverty since 1998 and the most significant growth since 1990, pushing back poverty reduction by almost three years.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic reversed the steady progress of poverty reduction over the past 25 years. This unprecedented reversal is being further exacerbated by rising inflation and the impacts of the war in Ukraine. It is estimated that these combined crises will lead to an additional 75 million–95 million people living in extreme poverty in 2022, compared with pre-pandemic projections.
736 million
According to the most recent figures, 736 million people in the world live on less than $1.90 a day. That equates to approximately 10% of the world’s population living below the global poverty line.
23.7 million
On a daily basis, agriculture delivers an average of 23.7 million tons of food, offering employment to 2.5 billion individuals, and representing the main source of income and employment for impoverished rural households. In underdeveloped countries, agriculture makes up 29% of GDP and 65% of jobs.
