Definition

Food security is defined as having access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. USDA reported that a lack of food security, or food insecurity, affected 10.5 percent of all U.S. households in 2020, unchanged from 2019. Households with children, however, experienced statistically significant increases in food insecurity during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, even as overall food insecurity stayed the same. In 2020, 85.2 percent of households with children were food secure, while 14.8 percent were food-insecure, up from 13.6 percent in 2019.
