Nutrition and Food Security

Nutrition refers to the process by which our bodies receive and utilize essential nutrients from food to maintain health, support growth, and provide energy. Food security means having reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Together, they ensure that individuals and communities can thrive. Factors affecting both nutrition and food security include economic stability, agricultural practices, and social policies. Addressing these issues is crucial for preventing malnutrition and promoting overall well-being, especially in vulnerable populations.
