Food security is in my view, security that food is available at the right place at the right time in the right amounts.

Food security is a state of having a stable and sufficient or adequate supply of food while food safety simply means freedom from any hazards (physical, chemical and microbial hazards).

Food security is a measure of the availability of food and individuals' accessibility to it, where accessibility includes affordability. There is evidence of food security being a concern over 10,000 years ago, with central authorities in ancient China and ancient Egypt being known to release food from storage in times of famine. At the 1974 World Food Conference the term "food security" was defined with an emphasis on supply. Food security, they said, is the "availability at all times of adequate, nourishing, diverse, balanced and moderate world food supplies of basic foodstuffs to sustain a steady expansion of food consumption and to offset fluctuations in production and prices.

Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent food-borne illness. The occurrence of two or more cases of a similar illnesses resulting from the ingestion of a common food is known as a food-borne disease outbreak. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potential health hazards. In this way food safety often overlaps with food defense to prevent harm to consumers. The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then between the market and the consumer. In considering industry to market practices, food safety considerations include the origins of food including the practices relating to food labeling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, as well as policies on biotechnology and food and guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification systems for foods. In considering market to consumer practices, the usual thought is that food ought to be safe in the market and the concern is safe delivery and preparation of the food for the consumer.

Food security refers to the availability of food per capita. Families are considered to be food insecure when they are not hungry or afraid to starve. The US Department of Agriculture estimates that about 9 out of every 10 US households were food-locked in 2005. It is a criterion to counter future disruption or acute food insecurity due to various risk factors including drought, shipping problems, fuel shortages, political instability, wars. Food security is either that the country produces all its basic food needs or is able to buy from abroad under any conditions of rising world food prices. Food security, especially in poor rain-fed countries, is becoming less secure in the production of their food and livestock food when rain is low and droughts, and they can not feed their populations and are powerless because of poverty from imports. Where famines have claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and perhaps millions, and left vulnerable people because of exposure during a lifetime of the consequences of lack of food. Then rich civil society organizations try to help the poor, afflicted countries in Africa and Asia, but often come late after it happened, and only help the survivors. Definition of food security Two levels of food security can be distinguished: absolute and relative. Absolute food security means the production of food within one country equivalent to or exceeding domestic demand. This level is synonymous with full self-sufficiency and is also known as self-sustaining food security. It is clear that such a wide-ranging identification of food security is highly criticized, unrealistic, and that the State or country concerned can not benefit from international trade based on specialization, division of labor and the exploitation of comparative advantages. Relative food security means the ability of a State or group of States to provide goods and foodstuffs in whole or in part. It is also known as the ability of a country or group of countries to provide or partially satisfy the needs of their community or communities of basic food commodities in full or in part. Based on this above definition, the concept of relative food security does not necessarily mean the production of all basic food needs, but is mainly intended to provide materials to satisfy these needs through other products in which the country or countries concerned have a comparative advantage over other countries. Thus, the relative concept of food security means ensuring food in cooperation with others. It should be noted that the concept of food security should be based on three pillars: the abundance of food commodities. The existence of food commodities on the market permanently. Commodity prices should be accessible to citizens.

Food Safety refers to a scientific organization that describes ways to deal with, manufacture, and store food through ways to prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of traditional methods that should be followed to avoid any potential acute health risks. Food has the potential to transport many diseases from one person to another, and it plays a role as an intermediary for the growth of bacteria that cause food poisoning. Existing discussions and debates on genetic food safety include such issues as the impact of genetically modified foods on the health of future generations, as well as the issue of genetic genetic contamination of the environment, which has the potential to destroy biological biota on the planet. Resulting in many complex food processing standards in developed countries, while the main issue in developing countries is the availability and availability of safe and safe water, which is often a vital issue there.

Food security is the availability of food at the right quantity, quality(safety) and nutrition at a price whilst food safety is the hazard related to food (physical, chemical and biological). food safety is embedded in food security.

Safety means that food is free from any foodborne pathogen or dangerous materials, but security is more universal to includes also the suitale supply of food in its type,amount and time. Suitable supply of milk is necessary for neonates. Also you can say feeding at night before sleeping is not secure for people.

Two levels of food security can be distinguished: absolute and relative. Absolute food security means the production of food within one country equivalent to or exceeding domestic demand. This level is synonymous with full self-sufficiency and is also known as self-sustaining food security. It is clear that such a wide-ranging determination of food security is highly criticized, unrealistic and misses the possibility of benefiting from international trade based on specialization, division of labor and the exploitation of comparative advantages. Relative food security means the ability of a State or group of States to provide goods and foodstuffs in whole or in part. It is also known as the ability of a country or group of countries to provide or partially satisfy the needs of their community or communities of basic food commodities in full or in part.

It should be noted that the concept of food security should be based on three pillars: the abundance of food commodities. The existence of food commodities on the market permanently. Commodity prices are accessible to citizens What is the term food safety? Means a healthy healthy food that meets the specifications and we mean by health food that its nutritional components meet and provide the needs of the human body for the benefit of health and that any deficiency in its components leads to the occurrence of diseases of food shortage and we mean safe food to meet the necessary conditions to ensure its safety or validity for human consumption during the production and processing Storage, distribution or preparation of food. Safe food for consumption should have the following characteristics: 1. Be mature enough and desirable by the consumer. 2 - To be free of harmful pollution to health at all stages of production and circulation. 3 - To be free from undesirable changes, whether microbial, enzymatic or chemical. 4- It should be free from any risks such as: - Chemical source hazard: which includes detergents, sterilizers and pesticides. - Danger of the physical source: which includes the presence of strange substances in food such as glass and stones - the risk of biological source: which comes primarily from microorganisms (microbes) and mean the proper food, free of corruption and the defects of virtual and internal, which reduces the nutritional value and marketing and we mean by the specifications It is produced from its basic and additional components as specified, quantified, packaged and packaged in a way that reaches the previous three points which is to be healthy, safe and sound. In order to get food to the four chefs we mentioned, food safety always starts from the farm to the table and food safety is a public health priority. Millions of people get sick and many die from unsafe food. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a serious infection of foodborne disease infection has been documented on all continents in the last 10 years, and many countries are experiencing a significant increase in food-related illness rates.

"Food security" suggests the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources, etc.  A "secure supply" of food.  To a lesser degree, food security does acknowledge the importance of food safety as well. 

"Food safety" is concerned with safe sources of all foods, freedom from avoidable chemical and microbial contamination, continuing the appropriate 'cold-chain' where needed, protection from insects, rodents, cross-contamination, safe storage, transportation, labelling, preparation, processing, cooking, correct temperatures post-heating, food-handler safety, and service.

What is the difference between food security and food safety? Even though the two terms intuitively sound as if they should mean the same, in fact, "Food security" suggests the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources, etc. A "secure supply" of food.

Following

I agree with @Afraa Ibrahim, @Fatima Faiq and @Alaa Kareem Niamah

Food Security is an encompassing concept which assumes the food you have access to is able to provide you nourishment (food definition). Food safety is a state or property of a food item that ensures its' intended purpose is fulfilled: edible, able to provide nourishment and with an acceptable level of risk in what regards hazards which it may contain (level of acceptability).

Go for safe assumptions / definitions no one would question if you are writing a paper - see below:

http://www.emro.who.int/nutrition/food-security/

http://www.searo.who.int/entity/world_health_day/2015/whd-what-you-should-know/en/

Food security is the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources. Food safety encompasses many facets of handling, preparation and storage of food to prevent illness and injury.

Even though the two terms intuitively sound as if they should mean the same, in fact, "Food security" suggests the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources, etc. A "secure supply" of food.

Food security entails sustainable food supply in the society against the fear of food scarcity. And food safety deals with food prepared bearing hygeine in mind in relation to the nutritional attributes of the food commodity towards the overall health of the consumer.

Food security means the availability of food for everyone without any shortages. Food safety deals with the practices related with food that ensures the final food product is safe and good to use.

Food security is a general concept that covers agricultural and industrial production in a country or around the world, which therefore contributes to meeting the food needs of a population in terms of quantity and quality of essential food products. .

 However, the term safety rather covers the qualitative aspects of foodstuffs; in terms of hygiene and health as well as microbiological quality, compliance with established standards for a particular product. It must meet the criteria of the different standards; microbiological, biochemical, physicochemical, organoleptic, rheological as well as nutritional quality coverage. Here also comes the coverage of nutritional needs which is accompanied by the nutritional quality of a food (its composition), it must be healthy, bring pleasure, appetizing, conditioned in good conditions, respecting the cold chain and conditions storage and transportation in order to remain healthy and keep the characteristics of its own and that meet the expectations of the consumer.

Food security and food safety are related as they both address healthy nutrition for optimal physiological and metabolic performance as could be ascertained by such gross indices as adequate growth at age and absence of nutrient deficiency diseases. Both are significant public health nutrition challenges that task food experts on new initiatives and innovations.

Notwithstanding, food security bothers on availability of food within a defined geographical perimeter while food safety deals with the quality of the available food.

Food security is not just concerned with tradition agricultural production of food but explores new and industrial approaches to making food available to the different population groups round the seasons of the year. Therefore, such aspects such as storage and distribution of food could significantly influence food security.

Food safety therefore, would bother on aspects like nutrient quality, rheological and organoleptic features as they influence food acceptance, contamination and toxicity and standardization among others

Yes, both are popular term. Availability of food indicate food security.on the other, from field to plate, produce fresh produces and supply to the consumer as safe food which will be safe for human health as well as ensure friendly environment.

Food safety and food security are synonymous, but food safety means that it is free from microbial contamination. Food security means providing food worldwide.

I agree with Dr. Fatma

i agree with Fatima Faiq ... great answer from respected colleague

Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent food-borne illness.

Food security is a measure of the availability of food and individuals' accessibility to it, where accessibility includes affordability.

Food safety and food security are interrelated concepts with a profound impact on quality of human life, and there are many external factors that affect both of these areas

Food safety has to do with the quality of the food, not the quantity. If a person cannot eat the food they have, they have no food security. Food securityrequires that food be safe. ... Food security is a condition related to the supply of food, and individuals' access to it.

Interesting discussion!

Though you have already got great answers, may I add that there is not Food Security if the Food available and accessible is not safe (Food safety). So the two terms are interrelated. It is even proper to say Food Safety is just a part or branch of food security. That is why scientists working in adding food varieties (breeding and domestication) and those working in reducing food toxicity are all moving to the same Goal i.e. Food Security which is a global concern!! The levels of food security also depends on location!!

Both terms are common food safety is food without contamination or toxins

Food secuirty is availabilty to consumers.

Food safety and food security are interrelated concepts with a profound impact on quality of human life, and there are many external factors that affect both of these areas

In fact, "Food security" suggests the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources, etc. A "secure supply" of food. To a lesser degree, food security does acknowledge the importance of food safety as well.

"Food safety" is concerned with safe sources of all foods, freedom from avoidable chemical and microbial contamination, continuing the appropriate 'cold-chain' where needed, protection from insects, rodents, cross-contamination, safe storage, transportation, labelling, preparation, processing, cooking, correct temperatures post-heating, food-handler safety, and service. It also encompasses risk-reduction protocols (HACCP), training and certification of handlers, testing of food, inspection and enforcement of all stages from producer to consumer.

Food security is about availability of required edible food to people and safety is about the required quality of food.

Food and nutrition security exists when all people at all times have physical, social and economic access to food which is safe and consumed in sufficient quantity and quality to meet thier diatery needs and food preferences (CFS official definition).

This definition emphasises the significance of safe food in food security.

Thus, according to me, food safety which addresses quality and microbiology aspects of food, so that consumers can prevent from food contaminations and avoid food-borne illnesses is part of food security.

Food plays a vital role in human life. Food safety gives an assurance that food is prepared hygienically and will not cause any illness to the consumer. There are many diseases, which are transmitted through the ingestion of contaminated foods. In order to produce safe food , industries must follow GHP, GMP, and HACCP.

Food security indicates that food should be available to every body at all time.There should not any shortage of food to the people.The problem of food shortage occurs during flood, drought, war, and famine etc. Improper storing conditions results in huge wastage of food. Hence, sincere attempts must be made to protect the food by storing properly so that there is no loss of food, and it is accessible to all people .

Prof.Dr.Mahendra Pal

Food is indispensable for the survival of us, and hence, we must avoid the wastage of food to feed millions of people who go to bed hungry. This will help in food security programme. It is also very important to prepare the food hygienically from the point of food safety.

Food security includes food safety because at the core of food security is access to healthy food and optimal nutrition for all. There will be no food security if the available, accessible, and utilized food is not safe. This by implication means that to achieve food security, the food ingested must be safe. Food safety starts from the input we use in production, preparation, processing, and cooking of food in the community and household. Food safety is therefore a critical components of food security simply forgotten in a discussion of the components of food security.

In terms of similarity, both food security and food safety aim to protect and promote health. The safety of the food we consume directly influences our health

Food Security = Adequacy & Availability of Food

Food Safety = Food Fit for Consumption

Good security ensures the availability of the food for the entire population of the country but food safety deals with availability of quality and healthy food for that population with any hazards.

"Food security" means food accessibility at all times for all people with good safety.

"Food safety" means practices inorder to gain food free from disease causing factors and is good in nutritionous value.

Food security can have different context and different meanings. For Example if you have your private field or garden and you grow all vegetables and other produce for your own consumption , then it implies that you have adequate food security. The safety part a extension to your food security , in ensuring that your food is grown and safe from bacteria or pests at growing stage, ensuring no excessive pesticide is within the grown variety, the methods of cleansing and while cooking , all add to the food safety.

I have attache a FAO literature which by far provides a well and lasting definition for food security .

For Food Safety , any local regulations and practices will yield sufficient data . if there is no food there is no safety required .

Thank you to all for good explanation about food security and food safety. In short, food security means to confirm availablity of food at any crisis, on the other hand food safety means to maintan food quality

Food safety means preparation, handling and storage of food in ways that are safe at the time of consumption. When the consumer has easy access to safe, nutritious, and wholesome food to meet their dietary needs and nutritional requirements for an active and healthy life is usually termed as food security. For ensuring food security four of the factors should be confirmed: food availability, easy access to food, food utilization, and stability or constant supply of food. @

Food safety means the proper handling, preparation and storage of food under hygienic conditions. The aim of food safety is to ensure the provision of non-contaminated food to people while Food security is the availability and accessibility of wholesome, safe, nutritious and delicious food to all people at all times.

Food safety is a subset of Food Security. Hence, Food Security is as important as Food Safety.

Best regards.

food-safety refers to the proper handling and storage of food in scientific ways to prevent the use of contaminated to the people and ensure the provision of non-contaminated that check the spread of foodborne disease. Food security refers to the availability of sufficient delicious food to all the people at all times.

both terms are much different from each other, as food security in food safety management system is to secure our plant, equipment, machinery and manpower by the exterior intentional contaminations or hazards like a virus in computers in food company can be captured in food security or defence.

in a General prospective, it is belong to the maintaining a quantity of food for future consumption in emergencies.

However, food safety is main tree not a branch. which we are controlling the intentional and accidental hazards or contaminations like Biologicals contamination from manpower during processing by doing risk assessments as HACCP, VACCP, TACCP or ops.

In general "Food security" means food for all. It suggests the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources, etc.

Whereas, "Food safety" is concerned with safe sources of all foods, free from chemical and microbial contamination, protection from insects, maintenance of 'cold-chain', safe storage, quality maintenance and inspection to ensure safe food for the consumers.

Food safety entails all processes concerned with the proper handling of food, down to storage with the aim of producing a non contaminated food suitable for human consumption. While food security deals with the accessibility, availability and stability of a safe and nutritious food.

Food security is the adequacy of food to society, the equitable distribution, confirmed supply, fair access, sustained sources. Food safety encompasses many facets of handling, preparation and storage of food to prevent illness and injury.

Very short and straightforward answer:

- Food safety = Foods free of pathogenic microorganisms

- Food security = adequate food foe every one in every where

Food safety is the process of making food safe and healthy for consumption.

Food security is the process of making healthy food available and accessible to people.

Food safety is one segment of food security (i.e how the food hygiene) but food security is a general term. (food safety is one pillar of food security).
