WHILE there is substantial overlap among the concepts of food sufficiency, food security and food sovereignty, they do depart in terms of the strategy they will adopt based on the ultimate goal that they want to achieve. Food sufficiency means the production of all the basic food commodities within the country’s border required by consumers. Meaning, that ample supply of these commodities will have to be produced within the country to meet total demand, regardless of the heavy economic burden of such a production strategy to the country.
