Chapter 4 Section 1: Food Security

This section focuses on 3 types of food security strategies: (1) supplemental assistance programs (often federally or state funded) to increase the consistency and nutritional quality of meals accessed by vulnerable groups; (2) using the emergency or charitable food system to meet the needs of citizens in crisis by providing food through food shelves and other mechanisms; and (3) community food security projects to focus on building communities’ capacities to feed themselves through job training, food and nutrition education, and infrastructure development.
