socio-environmental issue
Nearly every country in the world faces serious health problems linked to the consumption of either too little nutrient-rich food or too much energy-dense food."
Food Security
When all people, at all times, have physical, economic and social access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life
Nutrition Security
When all people at all times have physical, social and economic access to food, which is safe and consumed in sufficient quantity and quality to meet their dietary needs and food preferences AND is supported by an environment of adequate sanitation, health services and care, allowing for a healthy and active life
