Food Insecurity refers to the state in which individuals or populations lack reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life. It encompasses various dimensions, including the availability of food, access to it (economic and physical), utilization (how food is prepared and consumed), and stability over time. Food insecurity can arise from multiple factors, including poverty, unemployment, social inequality, and environmental issues. It is a significant public health concern, as it can lead to malnutrition, chronic health issues, and negative impacts on mental health and well-being. Understanding and addressing food insecurity is essential for ensuring that all individuals have the means to acquire adequate food and achieve food sovereignty.
