Food Security is a concept of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.
Reference Definition by FAO: Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Household food security is the application of this concept to the family level, with individuals within households as the focus of concern.

The Renewable Energy Land Rush Could Threaten Food Security (Source: Oil Price on 7 May 2024): By Haley Zaremba - Meeting global climate goals will require an unprecedented buildout of energy infrastructure in terms of both speed and scale. And while the energies themselves may be renewable, their construction, production, and maintenance requires a whole lot of finite resources, from rare Earth minerals and metals to the very land they are built on. This last issue regarding mass-scale land use and acquisition, in particular, is already one of the biggest hurdles facing the global decarbonization transition. As the renewable revolution picks up pace, more and more land is required for conversion to utility-scale solar and wind farms. This is becoming extremely tricky extremely fast in a world that is increasingly competing for scarce land area, especially considering that solar and wind farms need land that is both well-suited to their particular climatic and geographic needs and large enough to make the project worthwhile. ...
Food Security Has Become A Central Priority For Many Emerging Markets (Source: Oil Price on 7 December 2022): By Oxford Business Group - Food security became a central priority for many emerging markets in 2022, against the post-Covid-19 pandemic backdrop of supply chain shocks, natural disasters and high commodity prices. While the second UN Sustainable Development Goal, promulgated in 2015, aims to end hunger by 2030, The Economist’s Global Food Security Index (GFSI) has fallen consistently over the last three years from a peak its 2019. As of 2020 some 2.4bn people – approximately 30% of the world’s population – did not have access to adequate food sources. Faced with these realities, several emerging markets have begun to take innovative steps to increase food security on a national, regional and global level. ...
