According to the World Food Programme, over 100 million children in low- and lower-middle-income countries go hungry every day. This widespread issue raises a critical question: just how many students are hungry at school and what are the consequences for their education and future?

According to a 2023 USDA report, about one in seven, or 13.5 percent, of U.S. households experienced food insecurity. This means approximately 47.4 million Americans struggled to access an affordable, nutritious diet during the year. The numbers show a significant increase from 2022, reversing a decade-long downward trend.
