Whats the difference between these two, is food security secure access to any food, while nutritional security is access to the food necessary to meet all nutritional needs?
That seems to be the joke but the phrase as defined by the 1996 World Food Summit accounts for nutrition.

Yep, which is why the US still has 11.2% annual food insecurity despite having the greatest food accessibility in the world.
These are victims of capitalism.
Don’t worry, in 2015, FAO also stated we had 60 years of agriculture left, due to soil degradation.
By that math we are on year 52
51
50
49
48…
Did they mean “agriculture at a global industrial scale” or “generally all agriculture”?
Is this why all the soil memes?
And yes, that’s part of it.
The other part of it is that I’m a soil scientist. Well was. Now I do something a bit diffent, and sit behind a desk (which is good)
Exactly
Just giving people bread, wont provide all needed nutrients.
Isn’t nutrition security kind of implied? Like, is there someone who’s like giving away 2200 calories a day in twinkies and ho-hos being like “aha! Gotcha! You just said ‘food’ not ‘healthy food!’” like some sort of lawful evil djinni? The movement to combat food deserts is to get actual grocery stores so that people have access to fresh fruits/vegetables instead of just the processed food available at dollar stores.
OP just wants to embrace semantics to try to feel superior. Just like everywhere else in their life, we’re all just rolling our eyes and wishing to the heavens they would shut up.
No one can force me to take vitamin d supplements!!
If it were legitimate, “let them eat cake” could be interpreted as a sensible plan. The peasants have no bread? We have cake. Let them have some.
In the original phrase, the word used was not “cake”, it was “brioche”, which is a kind of French toast. And the thing is you still need bread to make brioche.
The phrase often but wrongly attributed to Marie Antoinette, alludes to the ignorance of everyday matters from the ruling class that are too rich to even know how to tie their own shoes.
