Food insecurity hits international students as cost of living bites – Monash Lens
If your child was studying overseas, would you want them to go hungry? The cost of living crisis  among international students is a national issue. Research  estimates that 40% of students at Australian universities may be going without food, with the problem 'worst among international students'. We're hearing more about 'food insecurity', which occurs when people lack regular and reliable social, economic and physical access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences, preventing them from leading a healthy and active life.
