Projections for the next decade (2018-28) suggest that the share of the population that is food insecure in 76 low- and middle-income countries included in this report will fall from 21.1. percent in 2018 to 10.4 percent, the number of food-insecure people will fall from 782 million to 446 million, and the intensity of food insecurity will decline by 34 percent.

New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.

Food insecurity in the 76 countries included in this report is expected to remain virtually unchanged, but with some distributional changes, between 2012 and 2013. The total number of food-insecure people is estimated at 707 million in 2013, up 3 million from 2012. Over the longer term, the food security situation is projected to deteriorate. Food-insecure people are defined as those consuming less than the nutritional target of roughly 2,100 calories per day per person. By 2023, the number of food-insecure people is projected to increase nearly 23% to 868 million, slightly faster than population growth, so the share of the population that is food insecure is projected to increase from 20.4% to 21.5%. The distribution gap -- the amount of additional food needed to bring people in all income deciles up to the nutritional target -- is projected to increase 28% by 2023, meaning that food insecurity in these countries is expected to intensify over the next 10 years. Despite improvements, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to remain the most food-insecure region in the world. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Food insecurity in the 76 countries included in this report (low- and middle-income countries as classified by the World Bank that are or have been receiving food aid and are experiencing or have experienced food insecurity) is expected to remain virtually unchanged, but with some distributional changes, between 2012 and 2013. The total number of food-insecure people is estimated at 707 million in 2013, up 3 million from 2012. Over the longer term, the food security situation is projected to deteriorate. Food-insecure people are defined as those consuming less than the nutritional target of roughly 2,100 calories per day per person. By 2023, the number of food-insecure people is projected to increase nearly 23 percent to 868 million, slightly faster than population growth. As a result, the share of the population that is food insecure is projected to increase from 20.4 percent to 21.5 percent. The distribution gap—the amount of additional food needed to bring people in all income deciles up to the nutritional target—is projected to increase 28 percent by 2023, meaning that food insecurity in these countries is expected to intensify over the next 10 years. Despite improvements over the years, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to remain the most food-insecure region in the world.

USDA's new International Food Security Assessment model is a demand-oriented framework that includes information on domestic prices, consumer responsiveness to changes in prices and incomes, and food quality differences by income groups. Given projections for lower food prices and rising incomes, food security for the 76 low- and middle-income countries included in this demand-oriented framework is expected to improve through 2016. The share of the population that is food insecure is projected to fall from 17% in 2016 to 6% in 2026. The number of food-insecure people is projected to fall markedly, 59%, which matches the decline in the intensity of food insecurity, at the aggregate level. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Food insecurity in the 76 low- and middle-income countries included in this report is expected to improve between 2013 and 2014. The 76 countries are classified by the World Bank as receiving or have received food aid and are experiencing or have experienced food insecurity. The number of food-insecure people is projected to fall 9%, from 539 million in 2013 to 490 million in 2014. Over the longer term, the food security situation is projected to deteriorate as the share of population that is food insecure moves from 13.9% in 2014 to 14.6% in 2024. Food-insecure people are defined as those consuming less than the nutritional target of roughly 2,100 calories per day per person.Despite improvements over the years, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to remain the most food insecure region in the world.

A parsimonious demand modeling approach has been developed for the annual USDA-ERS International Food Security Assessment to be fully implemented in 2016. The approach incorporates price effects, variation in food quality across income deciles, and consistent aggregation over income deciles and food qualities. The approach is based on a simple PIGLOG demand approach for four food categories: corn, other grains, roots and tubers, and "all other" foods. The framework exhibits desirable characteristics obtained via calibration: food "quality" within a food group increases with income (e.g., from simple wheat flour purchased by poor households to commercial baked goods purchased by higher income groups); price and income responses become less sensitive with increasing income; and increasing income inequality decreases average per capita food consumption. The proposed modeling approach is illustrated for Tanzania. The new calibrated model will be able to identify the unique impacts of income, prices, and exchange rates on food consumption, i.e. potential sources of food insecurity.

The share of food-insecure people in the 76 low- and middle-income countries included in this report is projected to fall from 19.3 percent in 2019 to 9.2 percent in 2029. The number of food-insecure people is projected to fall markedly, 45 percent, which is faster than the decline in the intensity of food insecurity, at the aggregate level.
