About the indicator

The share of the population whose habitual intake of dietary energy is insufficient to maintain a normal, active and healthy life. The FAO estimate is built on food balance sheets, the distribution of consumption and the minimum energy requirement for the country in question — this is a modeled value, not an observed one.
