Food Insecurity

Food insecurity refers to the lack of consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active and healthy life. It is a complex issue influenced by factors such as income levels, economic stability, and social support systems. Individuals experiencing food insecurity may struggle to afford or access sufficient food, leading to compromised nutrition and an increased risk of hunger. Addressing food insecurity often involves implementing policies, programs, and community initiatives to ensure equitable food distribution and improve overall access to nutritious food for vulnerable populations.
