More than 800 million people in the world do not have enough to eat. This is more than the whole European population. There have always been people suffering from hunger in this world, but the conceptualization of hunger as “food insecurity” is rather new and introduces a political dimension to empty stomachs (Borch and Kjaernes 2016). The definition of the term “food security” can be traced back to the 1970s and in particular to the World Food Conference held in 1974 in Rome. At that time, food security was mainly used to refer to conditions happening in the Global South, related to the capability of providing enough food to the whole population (Burchi and De Muro 2016). Changes in the definition of food security have progressively occurred, and the concept has increasingly been applied to define situations of food scarcity at the household or individual level. Moreover, aspects related to the quality of food (in terms of nutrition and cultural and religious preferences) have been added. A prominent contemporary definition of food security states that Food Security exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (Grainger 2010). This means that people—to be food secure—not only need to be free from hunger but also need to have nutritious food that is in accordance with their food culture and ethics.
