What This Access Trap Figure Means

This game blends two food-access pressures: how many people cannot afford a healthy diet, and how many face moderate or severe food insecurity.

  • It is a composite average, not a single official indicator.
  • One component tracks whether healthy eating is financially out of reach; the other tracks lived difficulty accessing enough food.
  • Together they sketch a broader trap around food access, but they do not replace the original source metrics.

Food crises are often less about empty shelves than about who is priced, pushed, or exhausted out of reaching what is there.
