The Food Security Pathway in Relation to the Sociotype Domains.

The original three dimensions of food security were Availability, Accessibility, and Utilization. These correspond respectively to the Context, Relationships, and Individual domains of the Sociotype. The food security pathway is represented by the blue arrows. Note that approximately one-third of food overall is lost and wasted along the pathway (dotted red arrows). Stability and Sustainability represent the time dimensions of food security at the short- and long-term levels, respectively. Short-term stability rests on the ability to be resilient to shocks, whether they be economic, or manmade or natural disasters. The relative importance (weightings) of the food security dimensions (yellow boxes) in a given country depends on its food chain and system. Sustainability refers to the long-term goal of ongoing food stability that takes into consideration environmental, economic, and cultural aspects without jeopardizing future generations.
