Food & Agriculture Security
Food & Agriculture Defense
Most refer to food & agriculture security as insuring sufficiency in terms of adequate nutrition for at risk populations.  The Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) employs this term in defining its efforts to stave off hunger in Africa.
Food & Agriculture Defense goes beyond sufficiency, but includes it.  Defense is the reduction of risks to the food supply chain from the effects of natural disasters, accidental events or attacks. 
It encompasses identifying what is critical, assessing vulnerabilities, developing and deploying protective and mitigation strategies, preparing response and recovery capabilities, facilitating recovery after any event.
The key concepts behind food & Agriculture defense are:
1. Risk reduction
2. Protective and mitigation measures
3. Response & recovery capabilities
4. Building into any food supply chain systemic resilience so it can survive any such event
