2024年,13.7%的美国家庭面临粮食无保障问题,美国农业部计划结束其年度调查,引起专家们的关切。 In 2024, 13.7% of U.S. households faced food insecurity, and the USDA plans to end its annual survey, raising concerns among experts.

2024年,大约4 800万美国人——占家庭粮食无保障状况的13.7%,比2023年略有增加,据美国农业部家庭粮食安全最后报告。 In 2024, about 48 million Americans—13.7% of households—faced food insecurity, a slight rise from 2023, according to the final U.S. Department of Agriculture household food security report. 这些数据显示得克萨斯州和俄克拉何马州等州的比率较高,明尼苏达州和爱荷华州的比率较低,预计这是最后一次此类调查,因为美国农业部计划停止年度调查,称之为多余的、昂贵的和政治化的。 The data, showing higher rates in states like Texas and Oklahoma and lower rates in Minnesota and Iowa, is expected to be the last of its kind, as the USDA plans to discontinue the annual survey, calling it redundant, costly, and politicized. 倡导者和研究人员警告说,失去报告将阻碍追踪饥饿、了解经济差距和制定有效营养政策的努力。 Advocates and researchers warn the loss of the report will hinder efforts to track hunger, understand economic disparities, and shape effective nutrition policies.
