What happened
Reports indicate that Aotearoa New Zealand produces enough food for 40 million people, much of which is exported, yet one in three households experiences some form of food insecurity. This insecurity is described as the result of hard financial choices between paying for essentials like housing, energy, and food.

Why it matters
The issue has been worsened by soaring food prices due to global supply chain disruptions and rising fuel costs, alongside stagnant household incomes relative to inflation. A 2023 report by the Public Health Advisory Committee recommended developing a unified food system for all New Zealanders.
