This report has traditionally tracked world hunger using the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU), one of the indicators used to monitor global progress towards SDG Target 2.1. This year the report takes another step forward by reporting, for the first time, another indicator of the global SDG monitoring framework: the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The 2030 Agenda, by including this indicator, recognizes that food insecurity is more than hunger. The Zero Hunger goal aims not simply to “eradicate hunger”, but also to “ensure access by all people […] to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round” (SDG Target 2.1) and to “eradicate all forms of malnutrition” (SDG Target 2.2). Fortunately, data-gathering and measurement tools are rapidly evolving to meet the monitoring challenges presented by the new agenda and this report now includes this new indicator of food insecurity. The report thus reflects a more comprehensive approach to monitoring progress towards eliminating hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition and to understanding the interrelationships between them.
