Explanation
Food security, as defined by standard sources like the FAO and NCERT, consists of three primary dimensions:
- Availability: Refers to food production within the country, food imports, and the stock stored in government granaries.
- Accessibility: Ensures food is within reach of every person without physical or social barriers.
- Affordability: Implies that individuals have enough money to buy sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs.
While Accountability is vital for the governance and implementation of food-related policies (like the National Food Security Act), it is not classified as a core dimension of food security itself. Thus, statement 4 is the only one that is NOT a dimension.
