The change most likely to close the widest crack in Nord-Est
Steadier, less fragmented access to food and income support is the lever most associated with improvement here.
Linked to the indicator food insecurity. This is the index pointing forward: not a judgement, but a lever. The estimated impact is published as a direction, not a promise.
Where Nord-Est’s safety net holds, and where it is under strain
Each bar is the indicator normalised to 0–100, direction-corrected so a longer bar always means more cracks. The raw public value and the source year sit beside it. The method is identical at every level.
