preferences for an active and healthy life.“ [1]</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In the UK, not everyone lives in a state of food security. Its opposite, food insecurity, is a reality for many. The impact of Covid-19 and its response has highlighted this critical issue
in our society and for the increasing number of households that experience it.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">In the UK measures have recently been added to local and national surveys to ascertain the level of food insecurity, but currently, there is no single, reliable measure to enable Local Authority
Directors of Public Health to quantify and benchmark the level of need and risk in their particular area.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Tracking the level of food insecurity at the national level is necessary to understand the scale of the problem, and trends across time. But data collection at the local area level is essential
if we are to address food insecurity and its impacts, and to track the issue over time. This raises several questions: How is food insecurity measured at the local level? Who is involved in collecting these data? How are these data used? Most importantly,
where are the gaps and what data do local area partners need in order to effectively intervene and support households and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity?</span></p>
