GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS TOPIC.

1. GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY Prepared by: Elsie Joy Licarte-Misoles, LPT

2. WHAT IS GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY?

3. Global food security is defined as the availability of food and one’s access to it. A household is considered food secure when its occupants do not live in hunger or fear of starvation. Stages of food insecurity range from food-secure situations to full-scale famine.

4. Components of Food Security are the following:

5. 1.) FOOD AVAILABILITY It is when enough nutritious food of sufficient quality needs to be available to people for their consumptions.

6. 2.) FOOD ACCESS Refers to when individuals and households must be able to acquire sufficient food to be able to eat a healthy, nutritious diet, or have access to sufficient resource needed to grow their own food e.g. land.

7. 3.) FOOD UTILIZATION People must have access to a sufficient quantity and diversity of foods to meet their nutritional needs but must also be able to eat and properly metabolize such food.

8. 4.) FOOD STABILITY Food may be available and accessible to people who are able to utilize it effectively, but to avoid increases in malnutrition and in order for people not to feel insecure, this state of affairs needs to be enduring rather than temporary or subject to fluctuations.

9. Consequently, if there is the concept of food security, there is the existence of food insecurity too, once the components are not achieved and considered.
