1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS
FOOD SECURITY
Food
security is defined as access by all people at all times to enough
food for an active and healthy life. The committee on world food
security defined it as physical and economic access to adequate food by
all household members without undue risk of losing the access. However,
the definition adopted by the countries attending the world food summit
of 1996, and reconfirmed in 2002, accepts the USAID’S concept which has
three key elements viz; food availability, food access and food
utilization
FOOD INSECURITY DEFINED
Food insecurity or lack of
access to nutritionally adequate diet in a household or country can take
various forms. For example, chronic food insecurity exists when food
supplies are persistently insufficient to supply adequate nutrient for
all individuals. Transitory food insecurity occurs when there is a
temporary decline in access to adequate food because of instability in
food production, food price increases or income shortfalls.
