Document Summary
Define food security, food insecurity, food poverty and other hunger terms. Discuss the reasons for hunger in developed and developing countries. Discuss common methods of food recovery and canadian programs that promote food security. World-wide, one in every 5 people experiences chronic lack of food on a daily basis. Every 2 seconds, one person dies in the world because of starvation. In many cases, those who are experiencing hunger live in countries that produce excess food, but do not have access. Although we often think of this as a problem only in developing countries, we are not immune to food insecurity in north america. Food insecurity: limited or uncertain access to foods of sufficient quality or quantity to sustain a healthy and active life. Food insecurity leads to hunger, and hunger is a major health issue. Food security: access by all people at all times to nutritionally adequate, safe, personally acceptable foods from normal food channels.
