    According to the latest data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), at least 3 million people in Chile are moderately or severely food insecure
    .
     
    Chilean cooperative radio reported that analysts pointed out that the continuous rise in the price of the basic vegetable basket, the economic crisis caused by inflation, and the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on Chile's food imports are the main reasons for
    the impact on Chile's food security.
     
    According to reports, bread is the staple food of Chileans, and Chile is also the second highest per capita bread consumption in the world, but recently, the continuous Russia-Ukraine conflict has caused the price of Chilean bread to rise
    sharply.
     
    In response, Chilean Agriculture Minister Esteban Valenzuela said that due to the "intensification of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict", it is difficult for Chilean bread prices to stabilize
    in the short term.
     
    On the other hand, the increase in obesity rates in Chile during the pandemic has also become one of
    the most important concerns of FAO and the Chilean government.
     
    FAO Representative in Chile Eve Crowley said FAO had noted "a significant rise in obesity rates in Chile" and that this reality "reminds us of the importance and urgency of building more inclusive, efficient, sustainable and resilient food systems"
