Food security overarching goal – UGC NET Question

Food security is defined by availability,access,utilisation and stability of food supplies for all people. The stem directly echoes this definition by stressing physical and economic access to sufficient,safe and nutritious food at all times. Therefore food security is the correct term. It is a central concept in development policy and global agendas.

Option A:
Food security frameworks emphasise not just the quantity of food but its quality and continuous availability,including during shocks. Because the question repeats these elements,this option precisely captures the intended meaning.

Option B:
Nutritional transition refers to changes in dietary patterns,often towards more processed and energy dense foods as incomes rise. While related,it does not in itself guarantee universal access to adequate food,so it is not the best match.

Option C:
The green revolution was a period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity due to high yielding varieties and inputs. It increased food production but did not automatically ensure equitable access or nutrition,so it is not synonymous with the goal described.

Option D:
Land reforms involve redistribution or regulation of land ownership and tenancy. They can support food security but are one policy tool rather than the overarching concept stated in the stem.
