The agricultural sector remains the largest employment sector in most developing nations and has significant implications for the health and wellbeing of its people. Food security has complex links to economic development, environment, trade and health. Food security is the term used to describe the condition in which “all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life”.

Millions of people live hand-to-mouth, never sure if they will get their next meal. Often, people only need a few simple resources–like quality seeds, appropriate tools, and water–to become self-sufficient. In cooperation with community members, ADRA’s food projects seek solutions to food scarcity, malnutrition, poverty, and hunger.
