Global food insecurity
Moderate or severe
This data is based on household surveys that ask people questions about their access to food over the previous 12 months. People experiencing moderate food insecurity have been forced to reduce the quantity and/or quality of their food consumption, due to lack of money or other resources. People experiencing severe food insecurity have experienced instances of running out of food or suffering prolonged periods of hunger.
