Determining Food Stability to Achieve Food Security
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Attention to food security: ensure that objectives related to food security are incorporated into national strategies to reduce poverty, while considering each strategy’s impact at the country-, sub-national-, household-, and community-level;
- Promotion of sustainable and broad-based agricultural and rural growth: foster environmentally and socially sustainable development as a cornerstone of economic growth;
- Attend to the entire rural area: consider, in addition to agricultural production, other opportunities to enhance the economy and income apart from farming;
- Attention to the main causes of food insecurity: improve productivity together with accessibility to the land and human resources;
- Attention to the urban dimensions of food insecurity: address the factors responsible for urban poverty and increase food security in terms of food availability and access, food marketing, management of natural resources, and accessibility to basic services;
- Attention to political issues: take into account national and international policies and issues that impact the implementation and potential results of food security programs, including aspects such as public politics, peace, security, trade, and macroeconomic reforms;
- Encouragement of all stakeholders: engage all in food security-related dialogue that leads to the development of national strategies and ensures broad agreements on common food issues, objectives and solutions.
