Abstract
Food insecurity is a complex, multifaceted issue that affects millions and millions of people across the globe. It is an overwhelming issue with many different direct and indirect causes that are associated with increasing the likelihood that an individual or household may experience food insecurity at some point in their life. Food insecurity in America is most heavily influenced by poverty and other social determinants of health, and it has seriously adverse effects on the health outcomes of those who experience it. Although there are effective programs in place to work towards alleviating the issue of food insecurity, it is important to continue research as to untangle the complexity of this issue in hopes of defining a more direct relationship between food insecurity and a particular cause. Such findings may help facilitate a solution that could eliminate the issue of food insecurity.
