- Impacts on Education:
Food-insecure households may struggle to afford educational expenses, and
children from these households are more likely to suffer from chronic absenteeism
due to hunger. This can hinder their educational attainment and future earning
potential (Alviola, et al., 2015).

- Economic Vulnerability:
Households experiencing food insecurity are often economically vulnerable and
less resilient to shocks like economic downturns or natural disasters. This
vulnerability can perpetuate a cycle of poverty and hinder overall economic
development (Cabrera et al., 2019).
