Food affordability is a concept taking into account both food prices as well as the incomes of food consumers. Although data are not regularly reported on the affordability of food, it is possible to use purchasing power parity (PPP) data on incomes and food prices in 1993 to create a good baseline food affordability index. For successive years, readily available data on food price inflation and income growth can be applied to track changes in food affordability. Thus, measuring food affordability is a two-step process: a baseline index can be calculated using relatively scarce PPP data, and changes in food affordability can be obtained more easily using food inflation and consumption data. The methodology is described below, followed by the findings using the most recent data available. Though difficult to generalize because of data scarcity and differing country trends, food affordability in developing countries has improved significantly since 1993. This improvement comes from extremely low levels of affordability, however, when measured against the extremely high level of food affordability in the United States and other developed nations.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
