- Having reliable access to affordable food
- Access
- Able to regularly obtain food
- Availability
- Country must produce and/or import a sufficient amount of food

- Access
- Different Strategies to improve food security
- Increasing Food Access
- Improving access to markets
- Improving transport links so it is easier for farmers to sell
- Some can't afford to invest in infrastructure
- Improving transport links so it is easier for farmers to sell
- Trade

- However, £ have to be low so they can afford it
- Food can be imported to countries that don't have enough

- Changing the types of food production

- Converting to arable farming means more food
- Plants need less land and water than producing meats and dairy

- Reduces need for clearing natural land
- Producing as much food as possible

- Limits need for artificial pesticides but reduces biodiversity
- Crops can be GM'd to produce higher yields or resistance
- Agricultural Expansion
- More land converted to agricultural use
- Destroys ecosystems
- More land converted to agricultural use
- Changing the types of food production
- Reducing Waste
- Distribution
- Most shops discard food that doesn't sell
- Improving storage, packaging& speeding up the time it takes for food to reach consumers increases shelf life
- Most shops discard food that doesn't sell
- Production
- Crop loss can be decreased by educating farmers on prevention and providing them with better resources
- Consumption
- Encourages consumers to be less wasteful
- Distribution
- Increasing Food Access
