Abstract: 
This study delves into the economic facet of food security, focusing on the
pivotal role of food prices as significant barriers to accessing a wholesome and
sustainable diet. The challenges posed by economic recessions exacerbate these
barriers, amplifying the struggle of vulnerable consumers to afford food. Leveraging
web-scraped data, this paper introduces a pioneering exploration of economic food
access in Italy. Employing a Time-interaction-Region Dummy Model within the
framework of a stochastic price index approach, the analysis of least-cost food
products (LCFP) sheds light on the affordability of food products, providing
valuable insights into the intricate economic dynamics of food access in Italy.
