Food security is a state in which all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Achieving food security requires addressing the underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition, such as poverty, conflict, and climate change.
Food security is essential for the health and well-being of individuals and communities. It contributes to economic growth and stability, and it is a key factor in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving food security requires a multi-sectoral approach that involves governments, businesses, and civil society organizations working together to create a sustainable food system that is resilient to shocks and stresses.
