摘要

糧食安全性是健康和安樂的多因素系統分析中的重要因子。糧食供應及其他構成系統重要因素間的交互作用闡明了個體與人口的健康。一個衛生系統的重要分析應包含糧食安全性差異的考量，因為它代表經濟及健康不平等的顯要指標。世界人口中的一大部分－特別是在非洲下撒哈拉地區及東南亞－是處於長期飢餓的狀況。僅賴食物必需品的配給無法顯著地降低全球糧食不安全性。此外，為了減少長期飢荒的根本致因，促進農業發展、經濟成長及教育支援是必要的，進而以此提昇健康及安適。

Food security is an important element in the multi-factorial systems analysis of health and well being. The interaction between food supply and other important factors making up the system can shed light on individual and population health. A critical analysis of the health system must also include consideration of disparity in food security since it represents one of the most dramatic indicators of economic and health inequality. A large fraction of the world's population-particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and in South East Asia-is chronically hungry. Distributing food commodities alone does not appear to significantly reduce global food insecurity. In addition, promoting agricultural development, economic growth, and education assistance is needed in order to mitigate the underlying causes of chronic hunger, and in turn improve health and well being.
