Food security problems in various income groups of Kenya

Poverty and hunger are common in Kenya especially in arid and semi arid lands that cannot support crops and are also overgrazed thereby yielding low incomes, and in urban low income dwellings. Indicators of food insecurity and malnutrition such as proportion of the poor in the population, those requiring food assistance research have through the years shown that large proportions, about half the population of Kenya are food insecure.
