- Abstract
Food is a source of livelihood for plants and animals. However, greater emphasis has been on man in this review. An overview of foods, food security (hence, food insecurity) - at global and national levels has been presented. The right to food should be respected and protected as a fundamental human right. Besides, adequate diet is a key to a person's health, hunger fallouts from food uncertainty. There is so much hope on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) programme of the United Nations (UN) to bring succour if there are no conscious efforts on the part of governments to provide foods for its citizenry. Governments display loyalty to their citizens by making food security policy. Boosting accessibility to food, making policy statement, improved usage of food with better nutritional status, and a tactical backup for foods already produced are measures that are being used to accomplish food security. The need of formulation of new foods as a panacea to food insecurity has been illuminated. If food security is neglected, the predicted 840 million people will be condemned to near inveterate malnutrition in 2030. Food security, worldwide and coast-to-coast should conspicuously focus on creation of new foods with value addition.
