10 Best Countries to Live for Food Security According to Global Index

We’re always interested in how Canada fairs on the world’s stage and I’ve delved into this topic with posts like the best country to live, smartest countries, the happiest countries, the  most peaceful countries, the most sustainable countries, the friendliest countries, the most charitable countries, the most prosperous countries, the best countries for quality of life, the best countries for business, the top countries for life expectancy, the best countries for working women, the best country for world travel & tourism, the best countries for human development, the top countries for Clean Capitalism, the best country for child well-being, the best countries from social progress, the best countries for higher education, the most popular countries, the least corrupt countries, the best countries for paid vacation days, the countries with the best reputation, the best countries for global professionals, the best countries for ease of doing business, the best countries for starting a business, the best country for business, the best country for customer satisfaction, the most gay positive country, the best countries with the most competitive economies, the best countries for entrepreneurship, the most sustainable countries, the best countries to grow old, the top countries for longest hours worked, the best countries for innovation, the best countries for expats and the best country for closing the gender gap. Today, I’m adding the 10 best countries to live for food security according to The Global Food Security Index 2013 publishes by The Economist Intelligent Unit (E.I.U), which is the Economist’s research arm. It should be noted that DuPont, a world leader in market driven innovation and science, sponsored the index.

The Global Food Security Index 2013 measures the state of food security around the world. The index lists some 107 countries and gave them an overall score out of 100. To tabulate this score, countries were weighted based on three key indicators: affordability, availability and quality and safety. According to this research, the ten best countries from the Global Food Security Index are:

• 1) United States – Score: 86.8
• 2) Norway – Score: 86.5
• 3) France – Score: 83.7
• 4) Austria – Score: 83.4
• 5) Switzerland – Score: 83.2
• 5) Netherlands – Score: 83.2
• 7) Belgium – Score: 82.4
• 8) Canada – Score: 82.1
• 9) New Zealand – Score: 82.0
• 10) Denmark – Score: 81.8

The index found that developing countries made the largest food security gains and in developed countries falling incomes impacted food security. However, overall food security changed very little from the first report in 2012.

Food security is something that impacts everyone around the world and has been a growing concern for years. This list helps highlight were countries fall on the scale and serves to illustrate areas in need of improvement. It also spotlights the global nature of this issue.
