I need to get this off my chest. Food security and food insecurity are two different beasts. The former, food security, refers to the security of our food supply, as a city, province, country, or planet. In this topic, you might find sub-topics such as meat supply chains, justice for food workers, toxicity of agricultural inputs and etc. The latter, food insecurity, refers to a condition in which a household has insufficient food for its needs. PROOF, a global leader in food insecurity research based at the University of Toronto, has identified three levels of food insecurity, marginal, moderate and severe. Please visit their website for more information on food insecurity.
We are facing a situation in which both food security and food insecurity require deep thinking and creative problem solving. It would be splendid if we could get the terms straight.
