Overview

Food security is the condition in which all people, at all times, have reliable physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. It is commonly framed around four interdependent dimensions: availability of adequate food supplies, access to those supplies, appropriate utilization of food including diet quality and health status, and stability of these conditions over time. As a determinant of nutrition, food security shapes the prevention of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and diet-related disease across populations. Research published by the International Journal of Nutrition addresses these dimensions directly, including assessments of the nutritional status of women and children in Bangladesh and the influence of socio-economic factors on dietary adequacy, and the relationship between household economic status and childhood micronutrient deficiency in India. Allied work in the publisher's agricultural and environmental titles examines the climate change, land degradation, and food security nexus, the water-energy-food relationship, and the role of migration and remittances in agricultural employment. Together these studies situate food security within nutrition, agriculture, and sustainable-development concerns. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to food security.
