We typically think of insecurities as something emotional we feel because of fear. For example, we would say that a certain person who is shy in public is insecure in themselves.
But when you talk about hunger issues on a global scaled, the term “Food insecurities” is a phrase that is often used to describe the ripple effect of people not having enough food to feed themselves or their family. So not having enough food leads to an insecure and unstable family environment, a community environment, and ultimately, a national environment. For example, before all the hurricane hit Haiti, there wasn’t enough food to go around so that insecurity led to people rioting and deposing the leader. So global hunger does effect us even in our nation because when other nations are at unrest, it is typically, though not always, over economic conditions which has hunger as a core issue. So us in the U.S. feeding the world does help to stabilize our global security.
