Hunger and Malnutrition: Data and Statistics

Last updated on January 27, 2013

Last week, The Guardian‘s Poverty Matters blog had a great post linking to a number of hunger and malnutrition datasets.

There you can find a link that will allow you to download the entirety of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ food security indicators. Those are great data for anyone looking to write a term paper on food security, as the country-level annual data roughly span 1990 to 2012.

When I tweeted a link to the Guardian‘s post, Filip Spagnoli, a Brussels-based writer and philosopher, linked me to a post on his blog where he has a bunch of statistics on hunger.
