ABSTRACT
Food security remains a major concern of the developed and developing countries. National governments employ various policies to address food security concerns of the citizens. Food systems’ transformation is to ensure that everyone has access to consistent, sufficient and nutritious food is a primary global agenda. Food security is being measured when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Innovation plays an increasingly important role in ensuring global food security, poverty reduction and agricultural sustainability. These policies involves direct interventions involving structural changes in relative prices and target food subsidies, and indirect measures such as improving agricultural infrastructure, the general economic environment, and providing farmers with  new farm technologies to increase food production. This article describes and analyzes the innovative concept of food security and policy and presents theoretical microeconomic model of food security. This paper examines some of the innovative principles, challenges and solutions.Keywords: Sustainable development, innovative policies, food security, and zero hunger.
