»Food Insecurity
What is food insecurity?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) describes food insecurity as "a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life." Food insecurity -- the condition assessed in the food security survey and represented in USDA food security reports -- is a household-level economic and social condition of limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity.
