Answer to Problem 1TYC

It is very important to ensure food security in the world. To maintain food security, patterns of global food security has increased exponentially.

Explanation of Solution

The idea of global food security arose from the challenges that scientists and policy makers face to the demands of human food with maintaining nutritional quality and also conserving environmental services.

Food security includes both the economic and physical access to food by people that meet their food preferences and dietary needs as well. It also incorporates a measure of recovery to future unavailability of food supply due to any risk factors. It ensures food access, food availability, and food stability. There is an exponential growth in the global food security from 1970 to present. The pattern of food security has grown so as to supply food to every person, maintain its nutritional quality, and also to ensure food availability in critical conditions.

Nutritional food and balance diet is the key to maintain health of a person. Deficiency or lack of any of the nutrients in the diet of a person can cause deficiency diseases. Two nutritional deficiencies that are commonly seen in modern world are as follows:

  • Kwashiorkor: It is a form of malnutrition or deficiency disease caused by the deficiency of proteins or amino acids in the diet.
  • Marasmus: Marasmus is also a form of malnutrition or deficiency disease caused by the deficiency of calories or energy in the diet.
