продоволствена несигурност


Definition from Regal.bg:
FAO дефинира продоволствена сигурност като ситуация, която съществува, когато всички хора по всяко време имат физически, социален и икономически достъп до достатъчно количество, безопасна и питателна храна, която задоволява хранителните им предпочитания и нужди за активен и здравословен живот. Съответно ситуация на продоволствена несигурност (food insecurity) е налице, когато хората нямат достъп до храна по дефинирания по-горе начин, определя агенцията.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ако към този брой се добавят засегнатите от <b>продоволствена несигурност</b>, ще получим трагична статистика: общо повече от два милиарда души нямат редовен достъп до достатъчно хранителни и безопасни храни, се казва в доклада на ООН. - Duma.bg  
  • Вероятността за <b>продоволствена несигурност</b> е по-висока сред жените, отколкото сред мъжете на всички континенти, като най-голяма е разликата в Латинска Америка. - Agrozona.bg  
  • Почти половината от населението, близо 6,2 милиона души, е изложено на остра <b>продоволствена несигурност</b> и се нуждае от помощ. - Investor.bg
