food security means all people at all times have physical and economic access to sufficient food. it implies availability accessibility and affordability of food to all people at all times.
Food security will help in education ,sports development in young ones. Food and nutrition security embraces meeting energy, protein and nutrient needs for healthy life. They intersect in agricultural and food systems at the global, national and local levels. Today, the main concern for the food and agricultural sector is to provide simultaneously enough food, in quantity and quality, to meet the nutritional needs of a growing population and to conserve natural resources for future generations. A sustainable food system supports food security, makes optimal use of natural and human resources, is culturally acceptable and accessible, environmentally sound and economically fair and viable, and provides the consumer with nutritionally adequate, safe, healthy and affordable food for present and future generations. thus it is important for sustainable development.
govt. ensures food security in India by carefully designed food security. this system is composed of two components:-
a)maintaining a buffer stock of food grains.
b) through the distribution of these food grains among the poorer sections of the society with the help of a Public Distribution System (PDS).

Answer:
- Overall, for SA to maintain and improve food security in a sustainable way, science and technology should be central to planning and ensuring there is sustainable innovation in farming. This can be through hydroponics, conservation agriculture, biological farming, and safer use and disposal of agrochemicals.
- Public Distribution System (PDS) is the most important step taken by the Government of India (GoI) towards ensuring food security. Over the years, the policy related to PDS has been revised to make it more efficient and targeted.
