food insecurity among students

Food insecurity among students means they lack reliable access to enough nutritious food to meet their daily needs. This can result from financial challenges, high living costs, or other barriers, affecting their health, concentration, and academic performance. Students experiencing food insecurity may skip meals or rely on cheaper, less nutritious options, which can impact their overall well-being and success in school. Addressing this issue involves providing supportive resources such as food assistance programs and ensuring affordable access to healthy food options.
