The document discusses the four dimensions of food security: physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food utilization, and stability of the other three dimensions over time. Physical availability addresses the supply of food through production, stock levels, and trade. Access looks at whether households can actually obtain food given incomes, expenditures, markets, and prices. Utilization examines how well nutrients from food are absorbed and the nutritional status of individuals. Stability considers whether the other dimensions remain adequate over time or are impacted by periodic issues like weather, economics, or disasters. The document also provides recommended indicators for measuring each dimension of food security.

Physical Availability • Of food Food availability addresses the “supply side” of food security and is determined by the level of food production, stock levels and net trade.
Economic and physical Access • To food An adequate supply of food at the national or international level does not in itself guarantee household level food security. Concerns about insufficient food access have resulted in a greater policy focus on incomes, expenditure, markets and prices in achieving food security objectives.
Food Utilization • Utilization is commonly understood as the way the body makes the most of various nutrients in the food. Sufficient energy and nutrient intake by individuals is the result of good care and feeding practices, food preparation, diversity of the diet and intra-household distribution of food. Combined with good biological utilization of food consumed, this determines the nutritional status of individuals.
Stability • Of the other three dimensions over time Even if your food intake is adequate today, you are still considered to be food insecure if you have inadequate access to food on a periodic basis, risking a deterioration of your nutritional status. Adverse weather conditions, political instability, or economic factors (unemployment, rising food prices) may have an impact on your food security status
