Resilience and food security: addressing global risks

Abstract

Food security is dependent on social, economic and biological systems that are interconnected to meet people's nutritional needs. Managing risks is crucial to strengthening the resilience of food systems and ensuring long-term food security. Some of the biggest challenges are climate change, financial risks and political instability. Resilience, the ability to overcome shocks, is becoming increasingly important. To improve long-term food security, we need to build better food systems that can absorb and adapt to climate change and other risks. A proposed study aims to assess adjustments to the Global Food Security Index and provide recommendations for improving global food security policy. Identifying gaps in the index and accurately reflecting the complexity of the global food system are important findings. Access to food at reasonable prices is essential for social well-being and stability. High-income households are better able to absorb temporary price increases, while low-income households need a safety net.
