Statista carried out a global consumer survey from Oct 2021 - Sept 2021 which shows that people across the globe are concerned with food & water shortages.
Both the war in the Ukraine and the worsening impacts of climate change, questions of water & food security have become an imminent concern in a growing number of countries around the world.
Data from the survey shows that more than half of the respondents (54 percent) in South Africa considered food and water supply one of the biggest challenges to their country, followed by around 40 percent in Mexico and 33 percent in Brazil. Food and water security is also a worry in Europe, with around one in five people citing it as a serious concern in the UK, France and Spain. Meanwhile, in the U.S., around 27 percent of respondents said that it is a key concern. Like many other countries, this past summer the U.S. experienced widespread droughts.
