 Measurement and objective.
 Food security can be measured by calories to digest out to intake
per person per day, available on a household budget.
 The objective of food security indicators and measurements is to
capture some or all of the main components of food security in
terms of food availability, accessibility, and utilization/adequacy.
 While availability (production and supply) and
utilization/adequacy (nutritional status/anthropometric
measurement) are easier to estimate and, therefore, more
popular, accessibility (the ability to acquire the sufficient
quantity and quality of food) remains largely elusive.
 1. Availability : Having sufficient
quantities of appropriate food
available.
2. Access: Having adequate income
or other resources to access food.
3. Utilization: Having adequate
dietary intake and ability to absorb
and use nutrients in the body.
4. Stability: People’s ability to access
and utilize food that remains stable
and sustained overtime.

Components of Food security

National food policy
 Objective 1: to ensure adequate and stable
supply of safe and nutrious food.
 Objective 2: to enhance purchasing power of
people for increased food accessibility
 Objective 3: to ensure adequate nutrition for

The state of food security and nutrition in the world 2020

 The 2020 edition continues to signal that significant challenges remain in the fight against
food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms.
 Almost 690 million people around the world went hungry in 2019.
 High costs and low affordability also mean billions cannot eat healthily or nutritiously. As
progress in fighting hunger stalls, the COVID-19 pandemic is intensifying the
vulnerabilities and inadequacies of global food systems.
 While it is too early to assess the full impact of the lockdowns and other containment
measures, at least another 83 million to 132 million people may go hungry in 2020.
 If recent trends continue, the Zero Hunger target of the Sustainable Development Goals
will not be achieved by 2030.
