Frequently Asked Questions

Food security means people have reliable access to enough safe and nutritious food for an active, healthy life. This course explores food security and nutrition in Australian and global contexts.

The four pillars are availability, access, utilisation and stability. Together, they help explain whether people can consistently obtain and benefit from adequate, nutritious food.

Food insecurity can be influenced by poverty, rising food costs, climate change, conflict, limited access to resources and disruptions to food systems.

Malnutrition can result from inadequate, excessive or unbalanced nutrition. It may affect physical health, development, wellbeing and productivity, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Strategies include reducing food waste, improving food distribution, supporting sustainable agriculture and strengthening community nutrition programmes and policies that improve access to nutritious food.
