What is Food
Security?

safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary
needs and food preferences for an active and
healthy life. The United States Department of

a household as access by all members at all
times to enough food for an active, healthy life.

when food supplies are low, people have to fight
for their survival.
5. Rising Prices- when there’s less food
available, the price of that certain food
increases.

in producing and harvesting crops fast and easy.
3. Support from the Government - government must support
farmers financially, and providing tools and machines for
