FOOD SECURITY – AN UNFASHIONABLE SUBJECT OFTEN TAKEN FOR GRANTED –

Summary/Abstract: Food insecurity still blights some areas of the world. But the main problem, in the author’s opinion, is not the overall amount of food. It is its correct distribution. Just changing this could save millions of lives and reduce conflict. In the first part of the article, the author writes about food security, which is a very strategic subject, because without food people do not last very long. Then, he writes about the fact that food can be used for warfare, both for conventional wars with a front-line and for modern day terrorist warfare, providing us with some examples in this respect. He concludes by mentioning the fact that the pressure on both the basic production and distribution systems will be large in the future, therefore, it is time to think ahead and good agricultural land will become increasingly important in the coming decades.
