Food security should be a major focal point for community nutrition.  In order to operate successfully as a dietitian in the community it is essential to understand what effects food security has on health and wellness.  Knowing the food security status of the community and people you are working with is very important to be able to accurately assess and assist in their specific situation.  I'm sure that in my career I will have to take into account food security of those who I am working with in order to help and educate them.
