Tackling high levels of food insecurity calls for innovative policy approaches that recognise that geography matters. Different territories need different policy responses to account for their particular challenges. Food security issues in remote rural areas are not the same as those in metropolitan areas, nor are the problems in one rural area the same as those faced by adjacent rural areas. Territorial specificities, including the institutions, infrastructure, education, health, natural resources, and human and social capital, strongly
influence food security and nutritional outcomes. Policies must be grounded in a coherent, multidimensional framework to address the problem’s inherent complexities.
