Food security therefore do not deal with ~uction per se, rather the requirem~t of sufficient food for consumption. The current situation in South Afiica is analysed, showmg a movement from food self sufficiency. The first conclusion is that the food equation is currently not balanced. The importance of an economic viable "local food production" strategy is secondly argued. A changed institutional structure to manage food security and food policy is proposed
