Often directly involved in producing food but have no land of their own and work seasonally. No means to produce food, have few resources to buy it. Food they have access to is of very poor quality, don"t have a lot of grocery stores so they"re dependent on very poor quality, processed, and expensive food. Floods, droughts, earthquakes, etc, force people to abandon their land. Farmers today produce more than enough calories to feed everyone. There is more to food security than just increasing agriculture productivity. Means that everyone has reliable access to food.
