Food security for some

The UK Government has produced its new food security index using nine indicators which it claims paint a 'broadly stable' picture: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-food-security-index-2024/uk-food-security-index-2024

Writing in the Financial Times today, Professor Tim Lang says that the indicators 'ignored internationally agreed definitions and indices of food security.'  He points out that food prices are 25 per cent higher than a few years ago and that a Food Standards Agency classified 25 per cent of consumers as food insecure. Poor diets feed through to healthcare costs.
