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.

Definition
|
Food security exists when all
people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe
and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an
active and healthy life.”
-World Food Summit (October
1996)
|
"Food sovereignty is the
right of each nation to maintain and develop its own capacity to produce its
basic foods respecting cultural and productive diversity. We have the right
to produce our own food in our own
territory. Food sovereignty is a precondition to genuine
food security." - (Via
Campesina, 1996: 1)
