The definition of food security set out at the 1996 World Food Summitstated that food security exists when all people at all times have bothphysical and economic access to sufficient food to meet their dietary needsfor a productive and healthy life .

AbstractToday every facet of modern life depends upon the business of chemistry. The business of chemistry transforms the natural raw materials into products that we use every day. The ability of plants to derive energy from sunlight and animals and humans to derive energy from food begins with
chemistry and the principles of thermodynamics. Chemistry identified nutrients in foods and also defined what is considered essential for sustaining life. The close relationship between chemistry and agriculture has been established since ages. Agriculture is the source of the most of the foods,which is the backbone of human survival and evolution. Throughout the history of time, chemistry has contributed much to food and nutrition security. Chemistry has been crucial to food production; it influences food access and is core to the food utilization. In addition to food security, sustainabilityand globalization encompass addressing world hunger and poverty. There is a need of integrating multidisciplinary technical involvements, incorporating viewpoints from agriculture, public health, engineering, technology and education, many rooted in the core science of chemistry.
In near future, it has been envisioned that chemistry can play an important role in mitigating the forecasted hunger, poverty and food insecurity. Thus, throughout the history of time, chemistry remains a cornerstone for achievement of food and nutrition security for all.

FOOD SECURITY
Pillars of Food SecurityFoodAvailability
# ensuring sufficientquantity and diversity
of food is available forconsumption from the
farm, the marketplace
or elsewhere.
Food Access
# refers to
households having
the physical andfinancial resources
required to obtain
appropriate foods for
a nutritious diet.
Food Utilization
# implies the capacity
and resources
necessary touse food appropriately
to support healthy
diets.
