Some Information RegardingFood Insecurity

Food insecurity is a significant issue affecting millions of people worldwide, characterized by a lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable and nutritious food.

Food insecurity refers to the state where individuals or households do not have consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life. It can result from various factors, including economic instability, lack of resources, and social inequalities.

  • Poverty: Low income is the primary driver of food insecurity. Individuals and families may not have enough money to buy food regularly.
  • Unemployment: Job loss or underemployment can lead to decreased income, making it difficult to afford food.
    • Malnutrition: Lack of access to nutritious food can lead to deficiencies and health problems.
    • Chronic Diseases: Increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases due to reliance on cheap, processed foods.
