, Option F: The Geography of Food & Health

F.1 Measuring food & health

Global patterns in food and nutrition
Food security: food security for a population exists when all its people, at all times, have
access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food
preferences for an active and healthy life.

Hunger: is usually understood to refer to the distress associated with a lack of sufficient
calories

Malnutrition: Refers more broadly to both undernutrition (problems caused by deficiencies)
and overnutrition (problems caused by unbalanced diets, such as consuming too many
calories in relation to the requirements with or without low intake of micronutrient-rich foods)

Undernutrition: goes beyond calories and signifies deficiencies in any or all of the following
energy, protein and/or essential vitamins and minerals.

Child Stunting: the share of children under the age of five who are stunted (that is, who have
a low height for their age, reflecting chronic undernutrition)

Child Wasting: the share of children under the age of five who are wasted (that is, who have
a low weight for their height, reflecting acute malnutrition)

Child Mortality: the mortality rate of children under the age of five (in part, a reflection of the
fatal mix of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments.

Global Hunger Index:

Many countries have had a reduced hunger index since 2000, however, the only country that
does not fit this trend is Venezuela, where its hunger index has increased by 8 points. A
country that has had a major change is Angola, where its GHI has decreased by 38 points, a
major change.
