摘要
Food security-consistent access to adequate food for active, healthy living-is an important foundation for children's good nutrition and health. This paper provides an overview of recent research and statistics on the extent and severity of food insecurity in low-income households with children. We summarize research evidence on the determinants of food insecurity and its consequences for children's health and development and identify strengths and gaps in the current monitoring systems and research.
