Elements of Food Security
- Presence of food: Food should be available in adequate quantities with non-stop flow. It emphasises storage and production in a specific jurisdiction and the ability to ferry food from other places through aid or trade.
- Access to food: One should be able to consistently purchase limited quantities of food through ways such as acquiring, borrowing, aid, and swap. The food supply connects all of them. Hence, food security relies on a healthy and sustainable food system.
- Consumption of food: The utilisation of food must have growth after intake of nutritional substances. It requires cooking, safety, hygiene practices, water and sanitation, providing and exchanging things.
Sustainable food system:
- Environmental concern: One should think that food production and acquisition do not affect the land, air, water, future generations, considering the health in our surroundings becomes essential.
- Economic development: It enables the suitable living approach (by decent wages) of the people involved in producing food and completing its system chain. It leads to producers' capacity to produce food continuously.
- Human Health & Social Equity: In this, it's crucial to impact community development and its health. The presence of healthy foods remains physically and economically to the community, and that people can appropriately acquire the foods.
