Food Security

Food

When someone is severely food insecure, it means they have run out of food and has gone a day or more without eating, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Even moderate food insecurity is a cause for concern, according to FAO.

When people are moderately food insecure, food source is scarce and they may not know where to get their next meal. Many have to give up other important things just to have enough to eat and, when they do eat, the food they manage to get in the table may not be the healthiest food because that is the cheapest to get.

Food is a basic right. But not everyone has access to it. Read more about food insecurity here.
