Undernutrition and Food Affordability are issues that many countries today still deal with. For this I wanted to know how much was needed in individual countries for it to be considered affordable. I got this idea from seeing some charts on the issue from a paper that looked at only one type of affordability (52%) and decided to create some of my own. It’s not perfect but I feel as though it conveys the message more clearly. Let me know what you think.
The graphs look lovely but I’m confused about what the numbers under the dotted line mean and how this relates to median daily income (USA), can you elaborate on that?
Who’s the outlier in Americas? Haiti? Venezuela?
Nobody in Asia have a healthy diet? What am I missing? Surely Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have the wealth and longevity data to prove otherwise.
