According to FAO, "the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU) is an estimate of the proportion of the population whose habitual food consumption is insufficient to provide the dietary energy levels that are required to maintain a normal active and healthy life".
The share of population in Peru whose habitual food intake is insufficient to maintain an active and healthy life was estimated at percent between 2021 and 2023. Peru has improved significantly on lowering such prevalence compared to the previous period, when the prevalence of undernourishment stood at almost ** percent.
