Nutrition security is achieved through a combination of various components, including:
1. Food availability: Sufficient quantities of food must be available to meet the dietary needs of the population.
2. Food access: Individuals must have the ability to access and acquire the food they need, either through production, purchase, or other means.
3. Food utilization: People must be able to utilize the food they have access to in a way that meets their nutritional needs, including proper preparation and consumption.
4. Stability: Nutrition security requires stability in food availability, access, and utilization, as well as stability in the broader social, economic, and environmental factors that influence food security.
5. Quality: The food available must be of sufficient quality to meet nutritional needs, including being safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate.
6. Resilience: Communities and individuals must have the ability to withstand and recover from shocks and stresses that may affect their food security, such as natural disasters, economic crises, or conflict.
7. Governance: Effective governance and policies at the local, national, and global levels are essential for ensuring nutrition security for all populations.
