What is Food Insecurity?• Not “hunger”
• Security – Food for an active, healthy life
• Insecurity – Uncertain availability of nutritious and safe foods
How to Determine Food Insecurity?1. Were you worried that your food would run out
before you got money to buy more?
2. In the last 12 months, did you ever eat less than you felt you should because there wasn't enough money for food?
3. In the last 12 months did you or other adults in your household ever not eat for a whole day because there wasn't enough money for food?
