ANSWER:
The local causes of food insecurity in our community is poverty and unemployment
Most major food and nutrition crises do not occur because of a lack of food, but rather because people are too poor to obtain enough food. Many children, women slept without food because of poverty that they cannot afford enough food for a day.
Unemployment cases rises day by day which leads to increased poverty and gives result of food insecurity.
