The availability of food and the ability of individuals to access it is
measured by food security. The food is required to be safe and
nutritious in order to be considered under this category. The four
factors which determine food security are availability of food, access
to food, use of food and the stability of the first three factors. There
are numerous challenges which threaten food security such as global
water crisis, climate change and land degradation. Several countries
around the world are facing a water crisis, which in turn leads to a
grain deficit. This drives up the price of grain, making it inaccessible
for economically weaker sections of the society. The book studies,
analyzes and upholds the pillars of food and energy security, and its
utmost significance in modern times. Those in search of information to
further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. It will
serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate
students.
