en public specific letter to the editor <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">This letter to the editor critically engages with the article &ldquo;Agriculture-Based Food-Producing Countries Are Less Secure in Food&rdquo; by Aktar and Islam (2025). It highlights the paradox that nations with high agricultural output often struggle with food security, emphasizing technological advancements in developed countries as a mitigating factor. The letter suggests integrating Global Hunger Index (GHI) and Gini Coefficient to provide a more comprehensive analysis of food security and income inequality. These metrics could strengthen the study&rsquo;s insights by addressing structural barriers that limit food access and exacerbate disparities, reinforcing the need for inclusive policies to achieve global food security.</span></span></span></div> Food security, Income inequality, Hunger 341 342 http://jnfs.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1359-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ruen Apondar Sabando rsabando@southernleytestateu.edu.ph 0009-0005-9082-7291 Yes Research, Innovation and Extension Services, Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines Francis Ann Redublado Sy 0000-0003-3161-9597 No Research, Innovation and Extension Services, Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines Don Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III 0000-0002-2179-6365 No Research, Innovation and Extension Services, Southern Leyte State University, Sogod, Southern Leyte, Philippines
