Food security is outlined as the universal capacity to procure safe food goods in a diurnal modus consistent with biological load and lifestyle. Therefore, food insecurity is the failure of these processes, which can predictably lead to anthropometric deviations, reduced educational attainment, and other deleterious public health disruptions. It is thereby crucial to reveal novel approaches in predicting food insecurities, and to elucidate if subsisting mechanisms either frustrate or fortify these conditions. Colombia is a developing country suffering from an internal conflict that has displaced over 5.2 million residents. This humanitarian crisis characteristically exacerbates established food insecurities, which extends over 41% of the total population, or 19.2 million inhabitants. Hencetofore, no study has attempted to couple market distribution to the reported food security status of Bogota� D.C., a megalopolis of 8.7 million residents, of which, more than 5.8 million remain currently food insecure. It was then hypothesized that market density could reliably infer sustenance anxieties athwart the 20 localities of Bogota�. Our results revealed an orthogonal relationship between market distribution and varying levels of food insecurities throughout Bogota�, foisting poverty as a primary antecedent to hunger
