Based on its small geographic size one may think that Luxembourg would have some issues with food security. However, the small nation has zero levels of malnutrition and the availability of certain food products has been on the rise (FAOSTAT). Also Luxembourg is a large donator to the World Food Program (WFP), a sub branch of the UN that fights hunger. Luxembourg has signed a four year deal with eh WFP and will donate up to 30.8 million euros to help mitigate hunger related problems in impoverished areas(UN new center).

Good idea to discuss donations, since local concerns are so low. Another tactic that Alexandra wrote about regarding Iceland is food insecurity as in complete dependence on food imports, instead of domestic production.
