"Food security" means that people have access, at all times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. At a minimum, this includes availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods and assured ability to acquire personally preferred foods in a socially acceptable way. NIFA addresses food security in many ways: through research, education, and extension work within the Land-Grant University System partnership; through federally funded nutrition education programs in the states; through a grant program that funds private nonprofits to address community food security issues; and through partnerships across USDA.
