According to FAO data, an estimated 2 million people in Ghana faced acute food insecurity between June and August 2025, highlighting the severity of the issue. This makes understanding the complex challenges of food security in Ghana a critical national priority.

According to a 2011 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), approximately 22.7% of children under five in Ghana were stunted, reflecting a significant aspect of the **prevalence of malnutrition in Ghana**. The country faces a complex 'double burden' of undernutrition persisting alongside increasing rates of overweight, obesity, and diet-related non-communicable diseases.
