十年来，Feeding America 的膳食缺口地图 (MMG) 提供了州以下各级人口和儿童粮食不安全的估计。除了被食品银行广泛使用外，州和地方政府也广泛使用它来帮助规划应对社区粮食不安全的措施。在本文中，我们描述了支持 MMG 的方法，详细介绍了 Feeding America 用于预测 2020 年粮食不安全地理情况的方法，以及自 2018 年以来，由于 COVID-19，粮食不安全率可能发生怎样的变化。我们预计 2020 年粮食不安全的美国人将增加 1700 万，但这一总体增长掩盖了 MMG 中发现的巨大地理差异。
For a decade, Feeding America's Map the Meal Gap (MMG) has provided sub-state-level estimates of food insecurity for both the full population and for children. Along with being extensively used by food banks, it is widely used by state and local governments to help plan responses to food insecurity in their communities. In this paper, we describe the methods underpinning MMG, detail the approach Feeding America has used to make projections about the geography of food insecurity in 2020, and how food insecurity rates may have changed due to COVID-19 since 2018. We project an increase of 17 million Americans who are food insecure in 2020 but this aggregate increase masks substantial geographic variation found in MMG.
