Ireland the best country for food security
The US has, for the first time, dropped from the top spot in the annual Global Food Security Index — compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit — as concerns about agricultural research spending and government policy trends may make the world’s top food exporter a less-certain place to get a meal.
Ireland is the world’s most “food-secure” nation, improving its food affordability, availability, quality, and safety, while the US has stagnated, according to the sixth annual edition of the index.
