Food Security or Nutrition Security: Which is Good for Health? by Hannah Joy on April 5, 2021 at 7:00 PM Food insecurity was a major challenge during the Covid-19 pandemic because of which there has also been an increase in having good, nutritional food among people all over the world, reveals a new study. In the 1960s, a national focus on hunger was essential to address major problems of undernutrition after World War II. In the 1990s, the nation shifted away from hunger toward "food insecurity" to better capture and address the challenges of food access and affordability. Now, a new Viewpoint article argues that today's health and equity challenges call for the U.S. to shift from "food insecurity" to "nutrition insecurity" in order to catalyze appropriate focus and policies on access not just to food but to healthy, nourishing food.
