What is Food Security?
Back to Food Security
Food security
exists when people can get enough food to eat that is safe, that they
like to eat, and that helps them to be healthy. They must be able to get
this food in ways that make them feel good about themselves and their
families.
Ontario Public Health Association
Food
insecurity occurs when an individual or family has limited or
uncertain access to nutritious, safe foods necessary to lead a healthy
lifestyle. Households that experience food insecurity have reduced
quality or variety of meals and may have irregular food intake.
