3. Introduction
Food security refers to the availability of food and one's access
to it. A household is considered food- secure when its
occupants do not live in hunger or fear of starvation. The
World Health Organization defines three facets of food
security: food availability, food access, and food use. Food
availability is having available sufficient quantities of food on
a consistent basis.

4. Objective
Food Security has three specific objective:-
• To ensure the production of adequate food supplies.
• To maximize the stability in the flow of supplies.
• To secure access to available supplies on the part of these who
need them.

5. Major challenges
• Minimum support price
• Market demand
• Emerging Issue of Small and Marginal Farmers
• Food-for-work scheme

6. How to Enhance food security
• Agricultural Development- integrated approach
• More food production- balance between food and horticulture.
• More food reserves
• The functioning of natural and International food market.
• Foreign exchange of importing countries.
• Trade liberalization
• Purchasing power of poorest strata people
• Financial resources and technical assistance.
• Food aid during emergency- drought, floods, earthquake, crop-
failure etc.

7. Action plan
• Equitable use of Environmental system (water use 1940-1980
doubled and 2000 again doubled) water, land, flora, fauna and
atmosphere, both developed and developing countries, eroding
the production base
• Sustainable Livelihood Security for the poor ( Degradation of
resources, Environmental Refugees)
• Symphonic Agricultural Systems ( Production – marketing –
consumption chain post – harvest technology)
• Science and technology ( Latest technology with application
will minimize poverty and hunger, HYV seeds etc)
• Knowledge and skilled sharing ( Illiteracy is still widespread
in developing countries)
• Resource Mobilization and usage
• Political commitment and Accountability

8. MAIN CLIMATE CHANGES OF IMPORTANCE FOR THE
AGRICULTURE SECTORS

9. Change in climate and hazard
impact

10. Impacts on agro-ecosystems
• Crops
• Forests
• Fisheries and aquaculture systems
• Genetic resources

15. Conclusions
• Climate change is already impacting, and will increasingly
impact, food security and nutrition. Through effects on agro-
ecosystems it impacts agricultural production, the people and
countries depending on it and ultimately consumers through
increased price volatility
• The first and the worst impacted are the most vulnerable
populations (poor), with livelihoods vulnerable to climate
change (depending on agriculture sectors), in areas vulnerable
to climate change.

16. Contd.
• Reducing vulnerabilities is key to reduce final impacts on food
security and nutrition and also to reduce long-term effects.
• The first and main impacts on food security and nutrition will
be felt through reduced access and stability for the most
vulnerable.
