Act now — no map needed

The interactive map needs JavaScript to shade live conditions for your country. You don’t need it to act — these vetted, globally relevant organisations are one click away.

Drop two cans at your local food bank this weekend · opens foodbanking.org → Almost everyone reading this lives within driving distance of a food bank, soup kitchen, or community fridge that’s currently short on shelf-stable protein, infant formula, or fresh produce. The locator pages below find the closest one in two clicks.
Set up a small monthly recurring gift · opens wfp.org → Recurring gifts let aid agencies plan and stretch funds further than one-off Christmas drives. Start with whatever you can afford each month — even a single small recurring gift outperforms a big one-time gift in real-world feeding. The four operators below are independent, internationally audited, and run sustained programmes.
Spend two hours sorting at a food bank · opens foodbanking.org → Most local food banks are short on volunteer hours, not money. A two-hour weekly slot at a sorting line is more valuable than the equivalent in money in many regions. Most operators run drop-in sessions on weekends with no advance commitment required.
Cut household food waste in half · opens unep.org → Roughly 30% of food produced is wasted, and about a quarter of that waste happens in your fridge. The cheapest food-security move you have is meal planning, freezing leftovers, and eating odd-shaped vegetables. UNEP estimates households account for 60% of food wasted globally — about 631 million tonnes a year.
Email a representative on food policy · opens ipu.org → Food security at scale is largely a policy problem — SNAP funding in the US, Universal Credit + free school meals in the UK, CAP reform in the EU, agricultural subsidies almost everywhere. Email the person who controls the budget for it.

How this portal works

Country shading uses the percentage of population in insufficient food consumption — their daily mobile-survey + earth-observation pipeline.
Phase 3+ flags mark countries with at least one assessed area at Crisis level (Phase 3), Emergency (Phase 4), or (Phase 5). Phase classifications are area-based, not country-aggregated — the flag means “some part of this country is in Phase 3 or worse,” not that the whole country is.
The recommender derives need-signals (hunger %, people in Phase 3+ areas, conflict and climate alert flags, World Bank income tier) and ranks the catalog by use-case match plus simplicity.
National hunger figures hide intra-country variation. A country shaded yellow may have districts in red; for sub-national hunger, and the technical reports are available in the action catalogue and the Learn library.
Your pins live in your browser’s local storage. Use Export JSON to back them up.
No accounts. No tracking. No upload. Outbound calls from the browser: our own server (live data), OpenFreeMap (basemap).

Country averages are coarse signals — they tell you whether to look more carefully, not where exactly the hunger is. See methodology.
