  2. Food Security • Food Security for a Household: access by all members at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life, including at a minimum: • Ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods; & • Assured ability to acquire acceptable foods in reasonably acceptable ways. • Food Insecurity for a Household: limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways. USDA – Economic Research Service – www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FoodSecurity/measurement.htm

  3. Food security status of each household lies somewhere along a continuum divided into four ranges: • High Food Security: no problems/anxiety regarding food; • Marginal Food Security: had problems/anxiety at times, but quality, variety and quantity were not substantially reduced; • Low Food Security:households reduced quality, variety & desirability of diets but quantity of food intake/normal eating patterns not substantially disrupted; & • Very Low Food Security:eating patterns of one or more household members disrupted and food intake reduced because household lacked money/other resources for food. USDA – Economic Research Service – www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FoodSecurity/measurement.htm

  4. How Are Food Security & Insecurity Measured? • LEAST SEVERE: Was this statement often, sometimes, or never true for you in the last 12 months? “We worried about whether our food would run out before we got money to buy more.” • SOMEWHAT MORE SEVERE: Was this statement often, sometimes, or never true for you in the last 12 months? “We couldn’t afford to eat balanced meals.” • MIDRANGE SEVERE: In the last 12 months, did you ever cut the size of your meals or skip meals because there wasn’t enough money for food? • MOST SEVERE: In the last 12 months, did you ever not eat for a whole day because there wasn’t enough money for food? In the last 12 months, did any of the children ever not eat for a whole day because there wasn’t enough money for food?
