# The CEO of AgriSA, Johann Kotze, says South Africa needs a food security index that will be active in real time. Based on the 1996 World Food Summit, food security is defined as a state which exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active life. Kotze says the index will help the country understand food security for the future:
