Synopsis

Food health and food safety are vital for ensuring both health and economic sustainability in the food sector. Implementing food safety standards and raising consumer awareness underpin policies and strategies in these areas. Food safety is the totality of systems established to ensure that food products reach the consumer in a safe, healthy and high quality manner. Food security is an important concept that defines people's access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. Food health covers all practices to ensure that food is consumed without adverse health effects. Food security is critical for meeting basic food needs, ensuring food security and adequate nutrition. Systems that function throughout the process from food production to consumption are vital for the existence of a healthy society. Food security and health are critical for individuals to lead a healthy life. Not only physiological needs need to be met, but also psychological and social needs need to be taken into account. Therefore, not only food production, but also the healthy processing, storage and distribution of this food is essential. Food security ensures the growth of healthy individuals and the protection of public health, while healthy food is the basis of this security.
