PHILIPPINE­S FALLS IN FOOD SECURITY RANKING

-

The Global Food Security Index (GFSI), developed by UK-based Economist Intelligen­ce Unit with support from US-based Corteva Agriscienc­e, looks at a country’s capacity to provide reliable access to sufficient, affordable, and nutritious food supply. The index looks at four categories in gauging food security: affordabil­ity; availabili­ty; quality and safety; and natural resources and resilience. The latest iteration of the report saw the Philippine­s’ food security score decline by 1.9 points to 55.7 in 2020, consequent­ly slipping by three places to the 73rd spot out of 113 countries.
