Food security is having nutritious food that is readily accessible in sufficient amounts and that each person finds acceptable. Additionally, it includes promoting environmental sustainability in the production and distribution of food, and equal rights for everyone involved in the system, from producers to consumers. It is a multi-faceted topic that is relevant to everyone because we all eat!
