1.1 Introduction
Food is a necessity for humans. Man is thought to be incomplete without nourishment. According to Balogun (Balogun et al., 2017), food has definite values that make it necessary to man. Food has biological, social, economic, and political implications for humans. During the 1974 World Food Conference, the term "food security" was coined to emphasize supply. Food security is thus defined as "the availability of sufficient world food supply of fundamental commodities at all times to enable stable growth in food consumption while offsetting the volatility in production and pricing" (United Nations Agriculture Agency, 2017). Demand and access concerns were added to advanced definitions of food security understanding. Food security "occurs when all people have physical and economic access to enough, safe, and nutritious dietary to fulfill their nutritional needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life at all times," according to the World Food Summit's closing report (United Nations Agriculture Agency, 2017).
