What Food Insecurity Means
This game compares the share of people facing moderate or severe food insecurity.
- The figure comes from FAO food-security indicators and is based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, which asks people directly about constrained access to food.
- This build uses the latest available 3-year average period, 2022-2024, which gives much broader country coverage than the sparse single-year series.
- Moderate or severe food insecurity is about people struggling to access enough food, not just low calorie supply on paper.
- In each round, pick the country with the higher food-insecurity share, or SAME when the percentages match.
A full national food supply can still leave millions of people uncertain about their next meal.
