Food Security

  • According to Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO), food security has basically four pillars:
    • Availability: food should be available in sufficient quantity at all times and at all places;
    • Affordability: food should be affordable, i.e., people should have economic access (ample income) to buy food;
    • Absorption: food should be safe and nutritious that body can absorb for a healthy life; and finally.
    • Stability: food system should be reasonably stable, as high volatility in food systems impacts adversely not only the poor but also endangers the stability of political and social systems.
