There are several key challenges that must be faced to achieve food security for all people: widespread poverty and limited economic growth; low levels of human resource development; rapid population growth and urbanization; insufficient growth in food supply; threats to natural resources; low levels of agricultural input use; poorly functioning markets; lack of infrastructure; inappropriate production and trade policies; and inadequate domestic resource mobilization and interational assistance.
