Food security and food safety are key aspects of healthy and sustainable food production. However, threats of natural disasters and diseases are grave concerns that serious precautions need to be taken as the threats may be harmful to the agricultural industry. Currently, food insecurity has become a significant big challenge in food chain supply, and there is an urgency for the government to address the issue. The aim of this review paper was to understand the relationship of food safety, food security and sustainable food production to ensure a sustainable food system to maintain adequate nourishment for the growing world population. The collaboration between governments, academicians, producers, and consumers is fundamental to raising awareness about the importance of food security. Nutrition educators can help at the grassroots level to identify the problems and help to find possible solutions. Modern technology such as RFID tags and blockchain could offer possible solutions to improve food security and sustainability. This will ensure that food products become safer and consumers can have access to precise information before consuming the products. Multidisciplinary teams must create many initiatives to ensure sustainable food systems, food safety, and food security. Reprocessing food will be the best way to eliminate food loss and food waste to sustain the food supply chain.
