Food Security
I n t r o d u c t i o n
Food security means making sure
that everyone always has enough
food that they can get easily and
afford. Poor families face more
problems with not having enough
food when there are issues with
growing or getting food. Making
sure there's enough food depends
on the Public Distribution System
(PDS) and the government taking
action when there's a threat to
food security.
