Index description

The Global Food Security Index evaluates how effectively a country can meet its population’s calorific and nutritional needs, while also examining the impact of external factors such as agricultural infrastructure, political stability, and climate risks, among others. Developed by Economist Impact and supported by Corteva Agriscience, it evaluates food security in 113 countries across four key pillars: Affordability, Availability, Quality and Safety, Natural Resources and Resilience.
