Attiring global food security and restoring demands on the environment is the greatest challenge faced by mankind. By the time 2050 at least nine Billion people need food, and increasing incomes and urbanization will inevitably lead to dietary revamp. The food security competitiveness will increasingly fringe the triple burden of malnutrition– under nutrition, obesity and deficiencies in micronutrient. The importance of the food security issues has led to huge scientific strides which forwards and making it difficult to keep up with the rapidly expanding value of scientific research and technology. Policies to implement global and local food security  needs to be actualize  and decision makers should have to make difficult choices to ameliorate the food security of local people against the limelight of drastic global changes. For some, feeding the world ethically means ensuring universal access to what is needed nutritionally for human survival and mitigating hunger. For others, it is securing food of sufficient quantity and quality for a decent life, a healthy life, or even a high quality of life. Still others widen the lens to include the welfare and rights of agricultural workers and farmers, the environment, or the well-being of nonhuman animals. And still others focus on protecting choice in the marketplace or on respecting cultural and national traditions and ways of life. The challenge for ethically acceptable global food security is to find a path forward, where tangible progress on ethical issues and disagreements in global food policy and practice is possible even in the absence of consensus about relevant values and permissible means.

 

This pandemic is slowing the global economy to a crawl but many of the largest economies are taking extra-ordinary measures to propel the crisis into rapid recovery. This considerable disaster shaking not only the world's economy but also the world's politics too which impacts throttling to the global economy and in a week or a couple of months the highly contagious disease has pushed the world to the brink of recession.
 
As per Food Safety Specialist, Food and Agricultural Products Center, Ravi Jadeja in OSU marked his word as, "The risk associated with Novel COVID-19 in the food industry is low due to the regulatory and third-party audit Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements that specifically address the exclusion of persons with any infectious diseases from the food-processing environment”.

\r\n Nourishment use is regularly just interpreted as meaning the physiological dietary benefit of nourishment. While consumes less calories should be healthfully adjusted and adequate in amount, nourishments likewise should be protected: free from poisons and different contaminants, and from pathogens and parasites. While numerous ultra-prepared nourishments fulfill these conditions, abundance utilization of such 'void calories' can likewise be named 'perilous', contributing as it does to overweight and stoutness, and attendant eating regimen related maladies. Nourishment utilization ought to be adequate in assortment, quality and amount to maintain a strategic distance from poor physical and psychological wellness results related with hunger, hindering, squandering and corpulence. At long last, the social elements of nourishment are frequently ignored in nourishment security discusses. These are regularly profoundly inserted in social standards, and add to thoughts of social-and self-personality, connection and family. Nourishment regularly serves genuine or emblematic capacity in strict or social service; absence of the correct kinds of nourishment for such capacities undermines the social capacity. In what capacity should exchange offs between healthy benefit, social worth and sanitation be assessed and tended to? How do these three components interface with different elements of nourishment security and effect the attractive changes of nourishment frameworks.

\r\n As halfway noted in the definition coming from the 1996 FAO World Food Summit, nourishment security is in a general sense an issue of access to nourishment. For most, nourishment moderateness is then a key component, incorporating the cost of nourishment with the measure of discretionary cashflow to spend on it. On the off chance that costs rise quicker than earnings, nourishment instability can increment. So also, physical access might be troublesome in certain spots. Distribution in the public arena is a further issue and can take a scope of structures because of fluctuated reasons. For example, in certain societies, men eat before ladies; help offices and crisis alleviation associations need to choose needs for who gets nourishment and when; and nourishment can be utilized as a political 'weapon' to impact or even oppress segments of society. Inclination is the third significant component of Access. Inclinations can be dictated by social and strict settings, taste and appearance, comfort and cooking ability, wellbeing and moral concerns, and furthermore showcasing and retail methodologies. Albeit safe and healthfully agreeable, eating nourishment we don't lean toward can have mental effect, undermining in general prosperity. What exactly degree should inclination consider in nourishment security discusses? How does get to meddle with other nourishment security measurements to understand the SDGs.
