A study on the food security, hunger and poverty: A social menace of the nation

The concept of Food Security is multifaceted and varied. Food is as essential for living as air is for breathing. But food security means something more than getting two square meals. It lies on the three basic concept- availability, accessibility and affordability i,e how much food is produced within a nation; whether the food is equally distributed in all the section of the population irrespective of caste creed; and the dietary food can be purchased by all. The present paper is an attempt to highlight the problems created by food security in different parts of the nation and suggest mitigation measures to combat the problem.
