Which term means ensuring a steady supply of nutritious food?

• A. Global
• B. Food Security
• C. Health
• D. Violence

Answer: (B)

Ensuring a steady supply of nutritious food is about food security. Food security means that all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to enough safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for an active, healthy life. It includes four parts: availability of food, people’s access to it, proper utilization (nutrition, water, sanitation), and stability over time so shocks don’t disrupt the supply. When the focus is on a steady, reliable supply of nutritious food, the stability and utilization aspects are especially important. The other terms describe broader ideas or different issues and don’t specifically name the condition of consistently having nutritious food.
