Abstract: Globally, the situation of the natural resources in terms of continuous and imminent population growth is very concerning. Ensuring food security and food security is increasingly difficult to achieve, and in areas that are becoming more and more extensive. This article presents a general overview of the main aggregate food security measurement indicators according to the classifications established by the most important agri-food institutions. The first section briefly examines food security and food independence on three main areas: food self-sufficiency; food security and environmental sustainability; and the agri-food system. The second section focuses on the aggregate indicators for measuring food security according to Food and Agriculture Organization, International Institute for Food Policy Research, the World Bank or EUROSTAT. The paper also evaluates the current situation of the main indicators and provides examples of actions that helped nations to achieve food selfsufficiency
