USDA Household Food Insecurity Measure 

As defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), “food insecurity means that households were, at times, unable to acquire adequate food for one or more household members because they had insufficient money and other resources for food.” Because food insecurity is caused by a lack of sufficient resources, it is a symptom of a household’s broader struggle to make ends meet.

The Ending Hunger in Maine Dashboard provides an overview of the state of household food insecurity in Maine to increase public understanding of the nature of the problem and to inform our state’s efforts to reduce the prevalence and severity of food insecurity.
