Abstract

Food insecurity and hunger are critical issues that affect people’s wellbeing and overall quality of life around the world. While they are related, they represent distinct aspects of the broader global challenge of ensuring that everyone has access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food. Food security is a concept that describes the condition where all individuals, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to enough safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life
