Keywords:
food insecurity, hunger, undernourishment, householdAbstract
Globally, enough food is produced to provide every man, woman and child with more than 2.300 kilocalories per day, which is more than enough. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require that all nations fulfill 17 broad development goals by the year 2030 but the prospects are not at all good and humanity is not on track to the targets on any of the nutritional indicators established on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. [1]
Bearing in mind this aspects, in this research paper we aimed to establish the situation of food insecurity, respectively of severe food insecurity which is one extreme of the scale at the global level, on specific global regions and in adition we will highlight the causes that led to these inappropriate situations in the most vulnerable global region.
