How does this phrase relate to food insecurity: "If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach him to fish so that he can buy his own gear and bait, he will eat for a lifetime and help to feed you, too"?


This phrase pertains to solutions for addressing food insecurity. While providing food relief to the hungry is critical, developing sustainable long-term solutions that attack the underlying problems of limited food access, low wages, and poverty are equally important. Thus a combination of various strategies can help to build food security within a community.
