Different authors have defined food security differently. This paper therefore explores various definitions of food security and other concepts related to food security. It discusses various dimensions of food security and its indicators and provides a situational analysis of the food security situation in Kenya. The paper compares various policies that different countries have used in order to ensure food security for their citizens and outlines policy recommendations that Kenya can use in order to be food secure.
