Although the nominal price tells us the monetary cost of buying food in the market, the inflation-adjusted price (which economists call the "real" price) is more related to food security-how easy it is for people to get proper nutrition. The prices of all goods and services tend to rise faster than the average income (though not always). Inflation means that buyers not only need to pay more for each unit of food (due to the nominal price increase), but also because of the parallel price increase of everything except their wages and other incomes, the money they spend on purchasing is correspondingly reduced.
