What is Food Security?
Food security
is defined by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation as ‘a condition in which
all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe
and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an
active and healthy life’.
The impact of climate
change on food security will be a consequence, not just of biophysical climatic
changes, but of the social, economic, institutional, demographic and
technological responses (or non-responses) to the challenge that climate change
poses. Food security is undermined by lack of action or the wrong kind of
action in these spheres.
