Nutrition Policy & Food Security
What is Food Security?
Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.
The Four Pillars
Availability
The physical supply of food from local production or trade.
Access
The economic and physical ability to acquire appropriate foods.
Utilization
How the body uses nutrients; linked to health and sanitation.
Stability
Ensuring the other 3 pillars remain consistent over time.
700M+
More than 700 million people globally face chronic hunger, while over 2 billion people suffer from "Hidden Hunger" (micronutrient deficiencies).
The Crisis: Challenges
Conflict & Displacement
War remains the #1 driver of hunger, destroying infrastructure.
Climate Shocks
Droughts and floods reduce yields and nutritional quality of staples.
Supply Chain Inflation
High costs for fertilizer and fuel translate to high food prices.
The Action: Policy
Food Fortification
Mandatory addition of vitamins/minerals to common staple foods.
School Feeding Programs
Providing predictable nutrition to children in vulnerable areas.
Sustainable Ag Investment
Subsidizing crop diversification over high-calorie monocultures.
