Abstract
The word “Food Security” is related with the political development between two super–powers in year 1973. It was realized that food can be used as a biggest weapon to have an upper hand in world politics. In an emergent meeting of FAO at Rome the origin of the word food security came into existence. At this critical juncture FAO defined food security as no one should go hungry to the bed irrespective of the male or female and children and finally it is the duty of the humanity also to solve the problem. Later on in the year 2001 Food Security was being defined by various scholars of the World and they related it not only with basic food items but with non-basic food items (luxurious and protective food items) which created the situation of confusion with the basic definition and lastly it is observed that there is no difference between food security and food self sufficiency as well as with basic food items and nonbasic food items. All the protective food items as nutritive food items are now being included in the meaning and concept of food security. The Word Food Security is defined as to ensure that all people at all times have both physical and economic access to the basic food they need.
