Food security is defined, according to the World Food Summit of 1996, as existing "when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life". This commonly refers to people having "physical and economic access" to food that meets both their nutritional needs and food preferences.[1] Today, Ethiopia faces high levels of food insecurity, ranking as one of the hungriest countries in the world,[2] with an estimated 5.2 million people needing food assistance in 2010.[3] Ethiopia was ranked 92 in the world in Global Hunger Index 2020.[4]
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[5] finds that Ethiopia is fulfilling 61.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to food based on its level of income.[6]
