Agriculture and Food Security

Agriculture involves growing crops and raising animals to produce food, fibers, and other products essential for daily life. Food security means having reliable access to enough safe, nutritious food to meet dietary needs and lead a healthy life. When agriculture functions well and food security is maintained, communities can consistently obtain sufficient, affordable, and quality food. Challenges like climate change, pests, and resource shortages can threaten both, making sustainable farming practices and effective distribution crucial for ensuring everyone’s food needs are met.
