Key Takeaway:
In 2023, the U.S. food insecurity rate rose to 13.5%, affecting 47 million Americans. This increase was driven by declining government benefits, inflation-fueled food prices, and higher housing costs. The problem is especially severe in states like Oklahoma, Texas, and Mississippi, with experts predicting no major improvements without significant policy changes.
