Seguridad Alimentaria

“Seguridad Alimentaria,” or “Food Security” in English, refers to the state where all individuals have consistent access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. This concept encompasses several dimensions, including the availability of food, access to food, utilization of food, and the stability of these factors over time.

Food security is influenced by various aspects such as agricultural production, economic conditions, infrastructure, and sociopolitical environments. It aims to ensure that people do not face hunger or malnutrition, and emphasizes the importance of sustainable food systems that are resilient to shocks. Achieving food security is a crucial goal for individuals, communities, and nations, as it impacts health, development, and economic stability.
