The link between food insecurity and the physical health of children has been well documented; however, a gap remains in the research on the impact of food insecurity on young children. Analyses of the effects of food insecurity on the development of infants and toddlers have not been published to date, while only a few studies have specifically focused on food insecurity among young black and Latino children. This report links food insecurity and child development, with a specific focus on black and Latino children under the age of three who are living in lowincome households.
