  • Data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) represent 3-year averages.
  • Hunger rates of 2.5% or undernourishment totals of 10000 or lower should be considered minimal approximations rather than precise measurements.
  • The Global Hunger Index (GHI) compiles the values of four indicators: Undernourishment (1/3), Child Mortality (1/3), Child Stunting (1/6), and Child Wasting (1/6), and places the result on a 100-point scale.
  • The best possible GHI score is 0 (no hunger) and the worst is 100. Scores from 20-34.9 are considered Serious, 35-49.9 are Alarming, and anything higher Extremely Alarming.
  • Countries with GHI scores below 5 are collectively assigned an index value of 5, without individual ranks.
  • 2024 data for Burundi, Lesotho, and South Sudan were incomplete. As such, the scores for those nations were given by the original source as provisional ranges rather than a single number: 10-19.9 for Lesotho and 35–49.9 for Burundi and South Sudan. These ranges have been converted to their approximate median values to preserve numerical sorting.
