The Netherlands is the best place to eat, while Chad fares the worst according to an Oxfam study of 125 countries in the world.
While there is enough food for everyone in the world, one in eight people go to bed hungry every night. Using global data, Oxfam compiled a snapshot of 125 countries indicating the best and worst places to eat.
To understand the challenges countries faced in getting enough of the right food, Oxfam's Good Enough to Eat Index asked four core questions using two measures each:
1. Do people have enough to eat? - Measured by levels of undernourishment
and underweight children.
2. Can people afford to eat? – Measured by food price levels compared to other goods and services and food price volatility.
3. Is food of good quality? – Measured by diversity of diet and access to clean and safe water.
4. What is the extent of unhealthy outcomes of people's diet? – Measured by diabetes and obesity.

The best-ranked countries to eat were primarily Western European ones, along with Australia.

The Netherlands scored the best because of lower food prices and diabetes levels and more nutritional diversity than other European countries.
