Percentage of the World Population Experiencing Food Insecurity
at Moderate and Severe Level, 2018-2020
Source: “The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021” released by the FAO.
Notes:
1. Moderate food insecurity is typically associated with the inability to regularly eat healthy, balanced diets; severe food insecurity implies a high probability of reduced food intake and therefore can lead to more severe forms of undernutrition, including hunger.
2. Differences in totals are due to rounding of figures to the nearest decimal point (四舍五入).
