Abstract

This study highlights what statistical data hides in respect to food security in Romania. Even statistics show that food security is achieved; individuals are at various stages of food and nutrition insecurity. The objective of the study is to analyse food security beyond the statistical data that show an average trend, trying to answer the question whether all people have access to sufficient and nutritious food. The results show that 15 percent of people live with less than $3 a day and they have limited dietary choices, which hide forms of malnutrition.
