Abstract: Provides an introduction to the three necessary conditions for food security to be achieved: (1) availability (of food); (2) adequate income (to acquire food); and (3) increasing productivity (in agriculture). An overview of the challenges in ensuring global food security is provided. The current state of food security across the world is outlined along with the particular hurdles faced as the world population is forecast to increase by two billion additional people by 2050 - in less than 30 years.
