What is Food Security?

We believe that food security exists when all people, all the time have what they need to eat well.  This means that food is:

Available

There is always enough food for all people.

Adequate

All people can have food that meets their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

Acceptable

All food is produced and consumed in culturally appropriate, sustainable and dignified ways.

Accessiblity

All people can eat well, free from physical, economic, social or political barriers.

Agency

All people understand, benefit from, and can make changes to the food system.
