Progress on food security and nutrition stagnates in Europe and Central Asia
26 June 2019, Rome--- More than 14 million adults, and some 4.7 million children in Europe and Central Asia still suffer from severe food insecurity – as defined by the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The evidence of persisting food insecurity and the recent increase in various forms of malnutrition in Europe and Central Asia prompt an exploration of their relationship with other development issues such as rural poverty, migration and gender.

To ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have adequate food and nutrition, immediate measures are needed at all levels and in different policy areas.
