AVAILABILITY OF FOOD 2. ACCESS SECURITY 3. UTILIZATION 4. STABILITY 4 MAIN DIMENSIONS OF FOOD SECURITY Food availability addresses supply side of the food security and expects sufficient quantities of quality food from domestic agriculture production or import. 4 MAIN DIMENSIONS OF FOOD SECURITY Food accessibility refers to the access by individuals to adequate resources for acquiring appropriate foods for nutritious diet.

Physical access- indicators are related to infrastructure and facilities that hasten the access to food. 4 MAIN DIMENSIONS OF FOOD SECURITY Food 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. 4 MAIN DIMENSIONS OF FOOD SECURITY Food availability can be defined as the availability of food over time. This concept is linked to another concept, food security, because the latter is considered a measure of access to food population. Food Security in the World Today The global food security situation and outlook remains delicately imbalanced amid surplus food production and the prevalence of hunger, due to the complex interplay of social, economical, and ecological factors that mediate food security outcomes at various human and institutional scales. Countries with the highest food security ranking 1st FINLAND 6th JAPAN 2nd IRELAND 7th SWEDEN 3rd NORWAY 8th CANADA 4th FRANCE 9th UNITED KINGDOM 5th NETHERLANDS 10th PORTUGAL Countries with the lowest food security ranking 113th SYRIA 108th BURUNDI 112th HAITI 107th NIGERIA 111th YEMEN 106th VENEZUELA 110th SIERRA LEONE 105th SUDAN 109TH MADAGASCAR 104th CONGO  FOOD SECURITY IN OUR COUNTRY The Philippines is the most food-insecure country in emerging Asia due to its reliance on imported food to feed its expanding population, and Marcos’ self-appointment is a worrisome sign for his country’s food self-sufficiency amid a looming crisis.  Main Threats to Food Security world population growth the increase demand for food the disappearance of the variety of agricultural plant species the increase in the area of scarcity water and the limitation of the availability of land and the food losses and food waste  3 TYPES OF FOOD INSECURITY Chronic food insecurity occurs when people are unable to meet their minimum food requirements over a sustained period of time. Transitory food insecurity is a temporary or short-term problem. It happens when there is a cyclical pattern of insufficient access to food, as a sudden drop in the availability of produce or access to enough food in order to maintain good nutritional status.  3 TYPES OF FOOD INSECURITY Seasonal food insecurity it occurs when there is a cyclical pattern of inadequate availability and access to food.  ORGANIZATIONS IN GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) FDA, through its Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) The World Food Programme World Health Organization (WHO)  RESPONSIBLE FOR FOOD SECURITY Food safety is everyone’s responsibility and therefore everyone’s business.  References: https://www.scribd.com/presentation/599377677/Global- Food-Security https://www.scribd.com/presentation/443011840/GLOBAL- FOOD-SECURITY-pptx Thank You!!
