According to Foodbank’s 2016 Hunger Report, one in six Australians have experienced food insecurity at least once in the last twelve months and one in every 24 Australians experiences food insecurity on a regular basis. The number of people seeking food relief, of whom approximately 33 per cent are children, has increased by eight per cent in 2015. Food security is broadly defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active lifestyle and thus food insecurity exists whenever the availability of nutritionally adequate food or the ability to acquire acceptable food in socially acceptable ways is limited or uncertain.
