Food SecurityAccess to enough food, alwaysPeople everywhere have a right to enough food to live active, healthy lives. Food security means ensuring people have access at all times to enough culturally appropriate food to make this possible. Increasingly, MCC's work is addressing issues of food security. Food relief --giving hungry people food--remains extremely important in certain situations, but difficult to sustain over a long period of time. Besides, most recipients would rather produce their own food than have it given to them. Food security enables people to feed themselves over the long term. This may mean providing water for drinking and irrigation in some parts of the world, or tools, seeds and fertilizer in other parts. MCC agriculturalists may teach soil management, crop variety selection and livestock care to improve food production. MCC also works at food justice. Often people want to be food self-sufficient but can't for political, economic or social reasons.
