Summary

As the custodian agency of 21 SDG indicators, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is responsible for curating and refining the methodologies of these indicators, collecting data from national sources, ensuring their quality and compatibility with applicable standards and classifications, and disseminating data at global level.

These SDG indicators provide data and insights into global efforts related to food security, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and sustainable resource management.

The data team mainly used Food insecurity as measured by the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) (2.1.2) indicator under SDG 2: Zero Hunger. This measure captures people's direct experiences of limited access to food, including their ability to obtain sufficient, nutritious, and safe food for a healthy diet. By surveying individuals about food-related hardships, such as skipping meals or running out of food due to financial constraints, the indicator provides critical data on global and regional food insecurity. It helps assess progress toward achieving SDG 2, which aims to eliminate hunger and ensure food security for all by 2030.
