L'insécurité alimentaire, ou l'incertitude de pouvoir se nourrir adéquatement, soi-même et sa famille, le lendemain, la semaine prochaine, le mois suivant, est un concept qui était pratiquement inconnu dans notre société il y a à peine une dizaine d'années; maintenant, on se rend compte que de plus en plus de gens vivent cette insécurité au quotidien.

La FAO [Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación] ha introducido en el informe de este año referente al estado de la inseguridad alimentaria en el mundo un nuevo instrumento para ponderar esa necesidad: la magnitud del hambre. Se trata de una medida del déficit de alimentos por persona de la población subnutrida de los países. Expresada en kilocalorías, tiene como objetivo evaluar la falta diaria de alimentos de las personas.
