Explain about the Nutrition Security?

Food security is a part of the broader concept of nutrition security. A household can be said to be nutritionally secure if it is able to ensure a healthy life for all its members at all times. Nutritional security can be briefly defined as a balance between biological requirements in energy and nutrients and the quantity and quality of foods consumed.

Nutritional security thus, requires that household members have access not only to food, but also to other requirements for a healthy life, such as health care, a hygienic environment and knowledge of personal hygiene. Food security is a necessity but insufficient condition for ensuring nutrition security. There are some factors that determine food and nutrition security.
