How is marginal food security different to very low food security?

What will be an ideal response?


Marginal food security refers to one or two reported indications–typically of anxiety over food sufficiency or shortage of food in the house. Very low food security represents reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake. Very low food security is more severe and is therefore more likely to lead to health problems than marginal food security.
