Question

State two steps that must be taken to achieve global food security.

Food security refers to the availability, accessibility and affordability of food for everyone at all times. When food crops are produced or distributed inefficiently, poor households are more vulnerable to food insecurity. Food security can be increased through the following methods:

1. Reducing food waste and food loss
2. Increasing access to food
3. Improving agricultural productivity
4. Strengthening social safety nets
5. Promoting sustainable agriculture
