​
Why should I care?
Having access to great food, preserving our planet, and protecting food security are fundamental goals that we all have. Our mission is to get access to and safeguard these rights for everyone. The only way to ensure these rights are available, not only to ourselves, but those who are most vulnerable, is by working together.
​
What does food security mean?
There are two elements to food security. The basic element is the ability of all people, regardless of socioeconomic background, to access sufficient, safe, nutritious, and affordable food. The second element focuses on national defense and economic protection. Nations that serve as a food resource for populations beyond their own citizens are less of a target of military action and can also continuously generate revenue.
