THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURE IN FOOD SECURITY

According to the United Nations Committee on World Food Security, food security is defined as meaning that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life.
The degree of self-sufficiency is an economic indicator that shows the domestic production of products as a percentage of their consumption and is a key indicator of a country’s food security.
