People who suffer chronic hunger do not get enough calories, essential nutrients, or both. They have an ongoing problem with access to food.

Where does hunger exist?
821 million people experience hunger every day. Hunger exists in the U.S. just as it does everywhere. In the last few decades, the world as a whole has seen progress against hunger.

Anybody can experience hunger at any time. But certain groups and people living under certain conditions are more at risk.
