Recommendation 8
8
Paragraph: 60
Food insecurity driven by insufficient income, exacerbated by global events and no agreed definition.
Conclusion
Although there is no agreed definition of food insecurity, it is clear that the difficulties people experience in providing sufficient food for their families are the result of a range of issues affecting household budgets—there is no lack of available food, but there is often insufficient income to pay for it. This hardship has been exacerbated by covid-19 and other global events such as the war in Ukraine.
