Understanding Food Security Essentials

Real food security is way more than just grabbing two square meals a day. It actually breaks

down into three non-negotiable rules. First is availability, meaning the country actually has the

crops in the granaries. Second is accessibility, so you can physically reach it. And third is affordability,

meaning you have the cash to buy it without going broke. That is why the

government hoards wheat and rice in Buffer Stocks to sell at Ration Shops when prices go crazy.

For millions of daily laborers and landless workers, this system is the only thing standing

between them and starvation.
