SECURITY

Food security is the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity
of affordable, healthy food. The availability of food for people of any class,
gender, ethnicity, or religion is another element of food protection.

SECTION 3

WHAT IS
FOOD
SECURITY?

Based on the 1996 World Food Summit, food security is defined when all
people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient
safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food
preferences for an active and healthy life.

The four main dimensions of food security:

Physical availability of food:

Food availability addresses the “supply side” of food security
and is determined by the level of food production, stock levels
and net trade.

Economic and physical access to food:

An adequate supply of food at the national or international level
does not in itself guarantee household level food security.
Concerns about insufficient food access have resulted in a greater
policy focus on incomes, expenditure, markets and prices in achieving
food security objectives.

Food utilization:

Utilization is commonly understood as the way the body makes the most
of various nutrients in the food. Sufficient energy and nutrient intake
by individuals are the result of good care and feeding practices, food
preparation, diversity of the diet and intra-household distribution of
food. Combined with good biological utilization of food consumed, this
determines the nutritional status of individuals.

Stability of the other three dimensions over time:

Even if your food intake is adequate today, you are still considered to
be food insecure if you have inadequate access to food on a periodic basis,
risking a deterioration of your nutritional status. Adverse weather
conditions, political instability, or economic factors (unemployment, rising
food prices) may have an impact on your food security status.

For food security objectives to be realized, all four dimensions must be
fulfilled simultaneously.
