The Bank is a leading financier of food systems. The World Bank Group works with partners to build food systems that can feed everyone, everywhere, every day by improving food security, promoting ‘nutrition-sensitive agriculture’ and improving food safety. Adverse weather conditions, political instability, or economic factors (unemployment, rising food prices) may have an impact on your food security status.įor food security objectives to be realized, all four dimensions must be fulfilled simultaneously. Stability of the other three dimensions over time: Even if your food intake is adequate today, you are still considered to be food insecure if you have inadequate access to food on a periodic basis, risking a deterioration of your nutritional status.Combined with good biological utilization of food consumed, this determines the nutritional status of individuals. Sufficient energy and nutrient intake by individuals are the result of good care and feeding practices, food preparation, diversity of the diet and intra-household distribution of food.
