What is food security?
• 1974 World Food Summit“availability at all times of adequate world food supplies of basic foodstuffs to sustain a steady expansion of food consumption and to offset fluctuations in production and prices”
• 1996 World Food Summit“when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life”

4 dimensions of food security
• availability• global, national, local, household• land, water, inputs, technology, yields
• access• national, local, household, individual• prices, income, wealth
• utilization• individual• clean water, sanitation, health
• stability• variability in any of the above

In sum…
• Prices and incomes matter• Because access matters• Because most hungry people are food producers but net buyers of food• Because the poor spend disproportionately on food
• Food security past and present• Food security over the next decade• Food security in the longer term• What can be done?
• Investment in R&D, extension and education• Policies to facilitate market access and trade• Risk management and social protection
