Summary

Data on the global hunger index of countries.

Converted from File:global-hunger-index-2021.xlsx.

This CSV file can be opened in SQLite, unlike the original XLSX file.

Like the original, this table generally doesn't include "developed countries" where hunger "isn't considered a major problem".

Conversion process used

Step 1: Copy-pasted the relevent cells into a new spreadsheet. Saved it as a .csv

Step 2: Edited any country names that didn't match the way they were named in FAO data tables.

I did this by visually comparing the results of 2 SQLite commands:

   SELECT `Country` FROM ghi WHERE `Country` NOT IN (SELECT `Area` FROM fao);
   SELECT DISTINCT `Area` FROM fao;

From the SQLite results, I made the following changes:

Step 3: Removed any asterisks from numbers.

Note: Some of the numbers are still not directly parseable. For example, "<5" and "20–34.9". Maybe I should edit those and make them parseable, or maybe not. For now, I'm leaving them as-is.
