HUNGER AND FOOD INSECURITY
Hunger is a feeling that can be different for everyone, but food insecurity actually measures the conditions that can lead to hunger.
FOOD INSECURITY
We all know what it's like to feel hungry after skipping a meal. But how can you measure how hungry you are? Hunger is a feeling that can be different for everyone, but food insecurity actually measures the conditions that can lead to hunger.
Food insecurity affects families in multiple ways. They are more likely to: experience stress and anxiety about where their next meal will come from, make difficult choices between food and other basic necessities like housing or healthcare, and rely on cheaper, less nutritious food options that can impact long-term health.
How can we end food insecurity?
Part of what makes food insecurity so difficult to solve is that the underlying causes — poverty, unemployment, underemployment and inconsistent access to enough healthy food — are often deeply interconnected.
DID YOU KNOW THAT
Food insecurity affects entire communities and households.
Food insecurity doesn't just affect individuals — it impacts entire families and communities. Moving in and out of food insecurity simply adds more stress to a household that may already be wrestling with instability and unpredictability. Food Rights Alliance is leading the fight to end hunger and malnutrition in Uganda. We work to raise awareness about the issue, advocate for policies to protect people in need and conduct in-depth research to find solutions to hunger.
Building food security for all communities
We have a responsibility to ensure that everyone has consistent access to nutritious, affordable food regardless of their circumstances.
We believe food security is a fundamental human right. That's why addressing the root causes of food insecurity is central to everything Food Rights Alliance does, but we can't do it without your support.
