Food Security

I know I was in the Food group so I may be a bit biased, but I thought about it a lot and I still think that Food Security is the most important Human Security.

Yes, it depends one how one defines importance, but even with varying definitions, it still wins. If we define importance in numbers, then Food wins because there are more people suffering from starvation than any other lack of human security in the world. So if those people could be helped, then the ends would justify the means (and in my opinion, that's the most important). If we define importance on how this security effects other securities, it fits because it effects all of them. Lastly, no other security is absolutely essential to live. Human life IS possible with bad (or no) economies, bad (or no) healthcare, polluted environment, threat of fatal violence, no community, and no politics. Human life is NOT possible without food and water, and without human life, human securities wouldn't even exist.
