Summary
This report is the seventeenth instalment in the Food Foundation's ongoing food insecurity tracking series, providing population-level estimates of food insecurity in the UK during 2025. Drawing on survey-based data, it likely employs established food insecurity measurement tools to capture both prevalence and severity across different population groups. The report is intended to inform policymakers, researchers, and civil society organisations working on food poverty and access.
UK applicability
This report is wholly UK-focused and directly applicable to UK policy discussions on food poverty, cost-of-living pressures, and social security adequacy. It provides up-to-date, nationally relevant figures that can support advocacy, programme design, and parliamentary scrutiny.
Key measures
Prevalence of food insecurity (%); severity of food insecurity; demographic breakdowns (e.g. by income, household type, region); trend data across tracker rounds
Outcomes reported
Reports estimated prevalence of food insecurity across UK households, likely disaggregated by demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. May also track trends over time relative to previous rounds of the same tracking series.
