Food security in Ethiopia

Food security is defined, according to the World Food Summit of 1996, as existing “when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life”. This commonly refers to people having “physical and economic access” to food that meets both their nutritional needs and food preferences.〔“Food Security”. World Health Organization. 2010.〕 Today, Ethiopia faces high levels of food insecurity, ranking as one of the hungriest countries in the world,〔“Key Facts and Findings”. 2009 Global Hunger Index. International Food Policy Research Institute. http://www.ifpri.org/publication/2009-global-hunger-index-key-facts-and-findings.〕 with an estimated 5.2 million people needing food assistance in 2010.〔“Ethiopia – Overview”. World Food Programme. 2010.〕
== Background ==
Accounting for 84% of the country’s labor force, agriculture in Ethiopia is the largest contributor to economic growth and the economy’s most important sector. Especially among the poverty-stricken rural population, the livelihood of most Ethiopians depends on agriculture. Although it is a country with “significant agricultural potential because of its water resources, its fertile land areas, and its large labor pool,” this potential goes largely undeveloped.〔"Improving Food Security, Livelihood in Ethiopia Though Agricultural Growth. " US Fed News Service, Including US State News 1 Oct. 2010, Research Library, ProQuest. Web. 9 Dec. 2010.〕
Ethiopian agriculture is incredibly sensitive to shifts in weather. When rainfall is erratic or insufficient for even a few successive rainy seasons, the entire country is prone to falling into famine. The most highly publicized example of this is 1984, when Ethiopia experienced one of its worst droughts in recent history and hundreds of thousands of people (one million people is the estimate most often cited) died or became destitute due to the famine that ensued.
