Chile is no longer hungry, but more and more Chileans cannot eat well

The article discusses findings from the 2026 United Nations Food Security and Nutrition Report (SOFI), highlighting a shift in global food insecurity. While global hunger has decreased to 7.8% (645 million people), the report emphasizes that access to nutritious food remains out of reach for nearly 2.7 billion people. In Chile, although malnutrition is largely eradicated, rising costs of healthy foods have led to poor dietary quality among over 7 million people, contributing to increased obesity rates and higher healthcare expenditures. The article argues that addressing this issue requires policies focused on pricing, accessibility of healthy foods, climate resilience in food systems, protection of vulnerable households, and improved data collection on diets of women and children.
