abstract = "We have drawn on our previous research findings, ongoing analysis of survey data, and insights from recent fieldwork to illustrate three points that must be addressed to achieve SDG2 (Zero Hunger). First, treating food insecurity as a household-level phenomenon masks important inequalities within households, which is detrimental to the most marginalised groups. Second, adolescents and children over the age of five are frequently overlooked in both monitoring and programmes, yet the consequences of food insecurity can be life-altering for these groups. Finally, global crises are important drivers of ongoing food insecurity challenges, but they occur against a backdrop of long-term, everyday precarity. Too narrow a focus on large international crises can obscure the highlyconsequential structural problems that leave marginalised groups facing chronic food insecurity.",
