Improving food security means acknowledging that it is primarily about taking action to improve the food environment, that is, to make sure that the right products at the right price are available to everyone. Secondary to this is improving peoples ability to make healthy choices. Quickly shifting to smaller families, moving down the food chain either by consuming less animal protein or by turning to more grain-efficient animal protein sources, and removing the incentives for converting food into fuel will help ensure that everyone has enough to eat. The future of the Pacific depends on how food secure the children of today are: future physical and mental well being, ability to contribute to society and economic productivity will depend on their health today. Food safety is essential to prevent diarrhoea, food toxicity and ensure food can be safely consumed and traded with other countries.That's why Global and community-based cooperation is necessary for improving food security.
