Abstract

One of the most fundamental requirements for human survival is food. A nation must have enough food in terms of quantity and quality for all its citizens in order to maintain its progress. Long-term food insecurity will result in hunger and starvation, both of which can be fatal. Thus, access to and availability of sufficient food is prerequisites for a population to be well-nourished. The food security issues gained prominence in the 1970s after which it has been given considerable attention. In Ethiopia, the food security issue has been also among the government’s priority areas of interest.
