Food Security and Food Sovereignty is differentiated here-under using basic high school method . Yes, simple differentiation from this method is never complete and can't depict the concept clearly. Nevertheless, it is useful for initial learning. I have taken help of many literature's to conclude this. Therefore, my sincere thanks goes to those who worked seriously in this matter. My special thanks goes to Dr Richard Lee ( Senior Research Associate ) of University of Newcastle Upon Tyne.
