Introduction
Show More Show LessFood insecurity refers to the lack of consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active, healthy life. It is a global issue that affects millions of people, ranging from individuals in low-income households to those in high-income nations facing unexpected challenges like job loss, economic instability, or natural disasters.
Food insecurity often arises from a combination of factors, including poverty, rising food prices, political instability, environmental challenges (like droughts, floods, or climate change), and inefficient food distribution systems. It can have devastating effects, particularly on vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses, leading to malnutrition, stunted growth, and long-term health issues.
