Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Food security refers to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food to people at all times. The availability of food at all times means that the food production within the country, food imports, and the previous year's stock are stored in government granaries. The accessibility of food means that food is within reach of every person. Food affordability means a person has enough money to buy safe, sufficient, nutritious food to fulfil one's daily needs. People living in poverty do not have food security. Therefore, they are prone to food insecurity. Food insecurity refers to the unavailability, inaccessibility, and unaffordability of food to people. Hence the correct statement would be, Food security refers to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of food to people at all times.
