Author Description

This report, which includes 76 low- and middle-income countries, shows that food security is expected to improve between 2014 and 2015. These countries are 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. The number of food-insecure people is estimated to fall 9%, from 521 million in 2014 to 475 million in 2015. Over the longer term, the food security situation is projected to deteriorate as the share of population that is food insecure moves from 13.4% in 2015 to 15.1% in 2025. Food-insecure people are those consuming less than roughly 2,100 calories per day per person. 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.
