      Introduction  

Across cultures, food is a way to bring togetherness to a group and celebrate community. But more than that, it’s one of a healthy human’s basic needs, along with water and shelter. Food is essential for every person to survive and thrive. Rates of worldwide hunger were dropping slowly but consistently at the beginning of the 21st century. Yet by May 2022, the United Nations was warning of a global food security crisis. Despite all the world’s resources, food security or reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food – is a pressing issue in multiple countries. The global problem of hunger is most aptly characterized as a lack of food security. According to the United Nations, a person with food security must have “physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life.” When these standards are not met, it results in the stress and health hazards of food insecurity. The most straightforward and severe form of food insecurity occurs when people lack access to the sheer calories required to sustain basic health. Hunger alone is not the only factor to consider. Food security deepens in complexity when nutritional needs enter the picture. Even when stomachs are filled, poor food quality can leave individuals, families, and communities with deficits in vital macro and micronutrients. This shows that food security is vital and can therefore produce positive impacts such as economic growth, poverty reduction and job opportunities.
