Food insecurity has been the looming problem in the present world. Decrease of agriculture land , increasing land use for urbanisation, industrialisation and mining erupted several complex food and livelihood issues. Depletion of genetic pool that had been supporting traditional food security measures raised serious concern for future food production, consumption and distribution practices. Food has been always remained as a political and ethical concern for all the nations and religions as well. Therefore the time demands multi-prong approach to solve the issue and bring happiness in every body's face. Food security can only be possible when use right genetic material for our agriculture at right time at right place. We should also demystify science and downsize the technology for our poor families. We must make credit easily, timely and in appropriative way available for enterprising individuals and groups. We must stop war and hatred , the cruel animosity in human character. We have to stop wasting money, resources, time and mind in inhuman activities that goes against Mother Nature.
