Are You Food Secure? by phunminiyi(m): 9:09am On Mar 28, 2016
what is food security?
Food security exists when ALL PEOPLE at ALL TIMES, have physical, social, and economic ACCESS to SUFFICIENT, and NUTRITIOUS food to meet their DIETARY NEEDS and FOOD PREFERENCE for an active and healthy life.

What are the pillars of Food security?
AVAILABILITY: sufficient quantities of Food available on a consistent basis
ACCESS: having sufficient resources to obtain appropriate foods for a nutritious diet
UTILIZATION: appropriate use based on knowledge of basic nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and sanitation
SUSTAINABILITY: continuous availability, access, and utilization of healthy food at all times for an active and healthy life
****I have enough money to buy food, then I am food secured***
If your purchase and consumption of food is not based on knowledge of basic nutrition, sanitation, and care...then you are just eating, You are not food secured.
The ultimate goal of eating is not just for the fun of it nor is it for our stomach to get filled. It is rather to provide the body cells with needed nutrient for growth and health.
Food security can be measured at both Individual and household level using various indicators.
Are you food secure? Let's here from you
