Abstract:

The issue of environmental security is not well defined in the literature. What is more, it should be precise practical aspects of activities to ensure it. The goal of this paper is partial completion of this gap, because of the indication of the role of actions aimed at ensuring environmental security in the context of food security, based on case study of Singapore. To this end, the term has been clarified, and its role and the link to the national security and food security have been indicated. And then there are presented the conditions for shaping the latter in the context of ensuring the environmental security. Without the prevention / limitation of threats to the natural environment, the source of which can be both man and the natural environment, it is difficult to ensure appropriate conditions for food security. Simultaneously, certain limitations in socio-economic development, caused for example by limited space for agriculture, can be overcome by using knowledge, research and technological solutions, and thus contribute to the improvement of the quality of the environment.
