Food security mean the availability of food.
According to Mealexchange.com, "Although Canada is one the wealthiest countries in the world, 9% or 2.7 million Canadians are considered "food insecure"(Canadian Community Health Survey, 2004). This means that many Canadians are not sure where their next meal is coming from or if they’ll have enough resources to prepare a sufficient and nutritious meal for themselves or their families."
Methods include:
Boosting agricultural science and technology. Current agricultural yields are insufficient to feed the growing populations. Eventually, the rising agricultural productivity drives economic growth.
Securing property rights and access to finance.
Enhancing human capital through education and improved health.
Conflict prevention and resolution mechanisms and democracy and governance based on principles of accountability and transparency in public institutions and the rule of law are basic to reducing vulnerable members of society.
