Food security essentially means that all people at all times have access to safe and nutritious food to maintain health and active life. Adequate food in terms of quantity and quality for all the people is a prerequisite condition for a sustainable growth of a nation. Lack of food leads to hunger and starvation and may even become the cause of death. There is positive relationship between food and health of an individual and for that adequate food is a necessity towards maintaining a decent living
