NEXUS
FOOD SECURITY
Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. - UN FAO
Requirements
Access
Utilization
Availability
Stability
Example: Brundi
Over 70% of the population is undernourished (food-insecure).
Over 50% of the people are living below the poverty line and 35% are unemployed.
Over 70% of the population is undernourished (food-insecure).
Civil war has caused many people to become internally displaced: people with no land can’t grow their own food.
Food insecurity results from overpopulation, soil degradation, climate change, high food prices and civil war.
Statistics
impacts every ninth person on the planet; that is, around 795 million people
Is the highest in southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa
Affects nearly 13% of the population in LICs
WATER SECURITY
Statistics
In sub-Saharan Africa 40% of the children under 5 do not have access to clean drinking water.
30% of the world’s population does not have access to improved sanitation
20% of the global population lives in areas where water is physically scarce and it is the poor and disadvantaged that suffer
Lack of sanitation at school is a problem in most countries in much of Africa
Access to sufficient, sustainable quantities of clean water and sanitation. Sufficient in this context means enough water to sustain livelihoods, well-being, a food supply and socio-economic development as well protection from contaminated water
STATISTICS
1 billion people without access to safe water
1.4 billion do not have access to modern energy
Almost 1 billion who do not have access to adequate food supplies
ENERGY SECURITY
Elements of energy security
Reliable
Accesible
Affordable
Access to clean, sustainable, reliable, affordable, modern energy to meet the needs of all sectors, such as domestic, commerce, industry, municipal and communications.
Statistics
Fuel wood, coal, charcoal or animal waste are the only accessible fuels for heating and cooking for 3 billion people.
A total of 60% of all GHG emissions come from energy production; hence there is a need to reduce this source to curb global climate change.
Some 20% of the global population lacks access to modern energy supplies.
DEFINITION
The idea that water security, energy security, and food security are inextricably linked and actions in one area will have impacts on the other two.
