"Survey data analyzed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides reliable insights into the number of households experiencing food insecurity across the country and in the Granite State. According to the USDA, food insecurity is defined as when households are unable to provide enough food for one or more household members due to a lack of money or resources. The USDA’s most recent report, released on September 4, suggests that food insecurity has continued to rise following initial declines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The most recent USDA food insecurity data was collected through the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey in 2023. In order to produce more reliable estimates of food insecurity at the state level, the USDA aggregates data into three-year periods, with this report covering state data from 2021 to 2023." REad more
