33.8 million Americans didn’t have adequate access to food, according to the latest report from the USDA. That’s despite the fact that U.S. is one of the wealthiest nations in the world based on almost every metric.

But food insecurity has remained relatively the same as it was in 2001. So why are so many Americans still hungry and what can be done to solve it?
