Mexico's food insecurity decreases, international report reveals; also reports increase in obesity

The article reports on findings from the 2026 SOFI (State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World) report, which indicates a moderate reduction in food insecurity in Mexico between 2014-2016 and 2023-2025, dropping from 24.9% to 16.5%. However, the cost of a healthy diet increased from $2.9 to $4.54 in Purchasing Power Parity terms between 2017 and 2025, leading to more people unable to afford such diets. The report also highlights rising obesity rates in Mexico, increasing by 12 million people over 12 years, and notes persistent issues like malnutrition among children under five and higher rates of anemia in women. Globally, hunger remains a significant issue affecting 645 million people, though there have been sustained progress in Latin America and the Caribbean.
