Food security means ensuring that all people have access to enough safe and healthy food to meet their needs. It involves making sure there is a reliable supply of food that people can afford to buy and that is nutritious to help them grow and stay healthy. Food security depends on various factors, such as having good agricultural practices, efficient food distribution systems, and reducing food waste. It is important for supporting the health and well-being of individuals and communities, and it plays a crucial role in reducing hunger and malnutrition around the world. For GCSE Biology students, understanding food security also involves learning about how human activities and environmental changes can impact food production and availability.
