Study Notes
Global Food Security
- Global food security ensures every nation has the ability to feed its population adequate amounts of nutritious foods.
- The objectives of the lesson include defining global food security and its importance.
Main Dimensions of Food Security
- Availability: Addresses the supply side of food security, expecting sufficient quantities of quality food from domestic agriculture or imports.
- Access: Refers to the access by individuals to acquire nutritious food. This includes economic access (factors like income and poverty) and physical access (infrastructure and facilities).
- Utilization: Refers to how the body utilizes nutrients from the food. It depends on factors like good care and feeding, food preparation, dietary diversity and intra-household food distribution. This ultimately determines the nutritional status of individuals.
- Stability: Global food security and outlook is delicately imbalanced amid surplus food production and the prevalence of hunger, due to complex interplay of social, economical, and ecological factors that mediate food security outcomes.
- Availability, over time, is linked to food security as a measure of access to food for a population.
