  • Description: ERS contributes to the understanding of global food security, including decisions of how US food is allocated, by providing annual estimates of food gaps. Food security, defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active and healthy life, requires three conditions to be fulfilled: food must be available, people must have economic access to food, and food must be properly utilized (that is, properly prepared and containing nutrients that can be absorbed by the body). The gap between food available at the national level and food needed to fulfill all nutritional requirements is called the nutrition gap, a food security indicator useful in assessing relative well-being across countries. Each year, ERS published food gap estimates for the current year and projections for the next 10 years.
