Abstract

Providing "food security" is one of the governance duties that governments are actively participating in. The third principle of the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the country's general policies and numerous laws and regulations in the country deal with "food security" and the method of government's regulatory interventions in it; But its closeness and interference with similar concepts such as "food safety", "nutrition" and "right to food" and the lack of a comprehensive understanding and barrier have challenged the government's regulatory function in this field. In this article, in particular, with the analytical-descriptive method and a detailed theoretical review and revision of the general policies of the system and laws in the field of food security, the question of what the regulatory legal indicators are in order to achieve food security in Iran's legal system has been analyzed. Finally, it has come to the conclusion that the lack of a single policy in the field of food security regulation, the lack of a precise and distinct perception of similar concepts, as well as the multiplicity and the overlap of the duties of regulatory and supervisory institutions in this field, are challenging the provision of food security in Iran.
