What is global food security?

Global food security means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.

What are the main challenges to achieving global food security?

Key challenges include climate change, conflicts, economic instability, supply chain disruptions, poverty, water scarcity, and agricultural land degradation, all impacting food production and distribution.

How does climate change impact food security?

Climate change causes extreme weather events like droughts and floods, reduces crop yields, alters growing seasons, and affects fishing stocks, directly threatening agricultural productivity and food availability.

What role do sustainable agriculture practices play in food security?

Sustainable agriculture practices, such as agroecology and efficient resource use, help enhance food production, protect natural resources, build resilience against climate shocks, and improve livelihoods for farmers.

Who is most affected by food insecurity?

Vulnerable populations, including those in conflict zones, low-income communities, smallholder farmers, women, and children, are disproportionately affected by food insecurity due to limited resources and systemic inequalities.
