HungerMap Live uses publicly available data to examine food security worldwide. Upon accessing the map, viewers immediately see a circle highlighting the current number of countries with very high levels of hunger. Further exploration shows the number of conflict and climate alerts. The dropdown boxes on the map allow you to navigate to specific countries and PDF reports. You can click any circle on the map to visit that area and access in-depth data, including food security and nutrition statistics.
