Food Insecurity Impacts Mental Health

Help address this through the Hapag Movement

The effects of food insecurity go beyond physical. Involuntary hunger has been a long-standing problem in the Philippines. During the pandemic, when millions lost their means of livelihood, this became more apparent with the surge of mental health concerns.

A study by University of Arkansas professors Di Fang, Michael Thomsen and Rodolfo Nayga Jr., published by BMC Public Health in March 2021, found that food insecurity caused by the pandemic was also associated with an increased risk of mental illness.
