Analysis of Food Security in Pakistan Incorporating Various Trades of Life
Keywords:
Agricultural Productivity, Food Security, Population Increase, Food AccessibilityAbstract
For humans to thrive, they must be able to access high-quality, nutritional food. Economic growth, poverty reduction, trade opportunities, global security and stability, and better health and health care are benefits of food security. Pakistan's food security is the focus of the current study. Many factors need to incorporate for the calculation of food security including food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. One criterion was determined for developing countries, and another was created for countries in specific regions (South Asia). According to the study's findings, a food shortage has been found in Pakistan. It follows behind in terms of food supply and consumption, leading to inferior overall food security scores. According to the report, Pakistan's food security situation might be improved by focusing on enhancing food supply and consumption, followed by food accessibility and stability. Food availability and consumption must be addressed first in Pakistan before the other two dimensions can be addressed.
