To continue, food security is when people have access to safe and nutritious food to meet dietary needs and food preferences for a healthy life on a daily basis. Having security about eating on a daily basis should be a privelledge;likewise, families should not have to be in fear about whether they will have access to another meal or not.
However, food security is not solely based on the availability a country has to food. Food must be supply people with vitamins and the nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle. Accessibility, utilization, and stability are only a handy of various factors that contribute to food security. In this video, BMEL (Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture), explains that "the access that a country has to land and water, enough money will be earned to have a sufficient amount of food".
This video also clarifies that there is enough food to feed the whole world;unfortunately, not enough healthy food is distributed evenly. Tips are given such as "promoting local agriculture" to sustain healthy diets and supporting your community.
All in all, this video has been very helpful to me, giving me an idea about what food security is and ways to improve it. I also enjoy this source because so its format. In addition, this source was more more helpful for me to understand because of its formatting. Videos always tend to give me a clearer understanding about a topic because I am a visual learner.
