According to the Global Food Security Index (GFSI), in 2022 the global food security index stood at 62.2 out of 100.

This figure is lower than before the pandemic, when the global food security index reached 62.6 in 2019.

"This year's decline is mainly due to two indicators: worsening price affordability and food quality," stated the GFSI team in their report.

"Price affordability is key to food security. If nutritious food is expensive, it will threaten the well-being of many people," they continued.

According to GFSI, the weakening of global food security in 2022 was influenced by the prolonged impact of the pandemic, extreme weather, and the Russia-Ukraine war, which triggered a rise in commodity prices globally.

Amidst this situation, the country deemed to have the best food security in the world is Finland, with a score of 83.7 out of 100.

Ireland, Norway, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Sweden, the UK, and Portugal also have strong indices, as detailed in the graph.

GFSI measures the food security index based on four indicators: food affordability, availability, quality and safety, and sustainability and adaptation.

The results of all these indicators are expressed as a score on a scale of 0-100. The higher the score, the better the food security is considered to be.

Finland is considered to have the best food security because food prices in the country are affordable for almost the entire population. This is reflected in its affordability score of 91.9, which is close to perfect.

Finland also received a high score of 82.6 in the sustainability and adaptation indicator. This shows that they have fairly strong policies in terms of environmental maintenance and risk management of natural disasters and climate change.

Unfortunately, according to GFSI, similar policies are not yet in place in many other countries.

"Governments in many countries are unprepared for extreme weather, such as the heatwaves that swept across Europe and North America, and the floods that devastated Pakistan. Globally, current water management techniques and irrigation systems are not strong enough to cope with climate change," said the GFSI team in their report.

"Amidst the scarcity of natural resources, investment in sustainable agriculture is also declining, and land management is still weak," they continued.

"All stakeholders need to work together to build a strong food system that can withstand rising food demand, land constraints, and a warming climate," they concluded.
