Abstract

In 2016, the population in Jalisco, Mexico living in poverty accounted for 2,560,600 people (31.8 percent of the total population of the state). The population experiencing food poverty in the state was 1.24 million (15.4 percent of the population in Jalisco). Deficiencies in the national social programs to reduce poverty and the lack of collaborative strategies among food banks have failed to substantially reduce food poverty rates in the state of Jalisco and at the national level.
