Undernutrition occurs when a person does not get enough nutrients from the food they eat, leading to problems with growth and health. It often happens when there is not enough food available or the diet does not include the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients. This can lead to serious health issues like stunted growth, weak immune systems, and difficulty concentrating in school. It can also affect life expectancy. In GCSE Geography, understanding undernutrition helps students learn about how food supply, poverty, and development affect people's lives around the world.
