22 Feb 2023 --- A study published in Nutrients has demonstrated increased food security when voluntary parenthood planning is present in Ethiopia. It also found that women who received support from family members to plan their parenthood had a higher level of food security than those who were not supported or had access to family planning. The authors define food security as when everyone, at all times, has economic and physical access to safe and nutritious food to meet their daily nutritional needs. While a crucial part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, food insecurity still poses a threat in developing countries.
