Data available at FAOSTAT
Food Deficit is defined as:
| Depth of hunger (intensity of food deprivation): |
| The intensity of food deprivation indicates how much food-deprived people falls short of minimum food needs in terms of dietary energy. |
| It is measured as the difference between the minimum dietary energy and the average dietary energy intake of the undernourished population (food-deprived). |
| The intensity of food deprivation is low when it is less than 200 kilocalories per person per day and high when it is higher than 300 kilocalories per person per day. |
| The greater the food deficit, the greater the susceptibility for health risks related to undernutrition. |
