The Concept of the Global Hunger Index | International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

High levels of hunger are generally found in those countries and regions where access and property rights to land, water, and energy are limited or contested. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger globally and by region and country.¹ Calculated each year by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the GHI highlights successes and failures in hunger reduction and provides insights into the drivers of hunger. By raising awareness and understanding of regional and country differences in hunger, the GHI will, it is hoped, trigger actions to reduce hunger.
